With U.S. and European aid to Ukraine now in serious jeopardy, the Biden administration and European officials are quietly shifting their focus from supporting Ukraine’s goal of total victory over Russia to improving its position in an eventual negotiation to end the war, according to a Biden administration official and a European diplomat based in Washington. Such a negotiation would likely mean giving up parts of Ukraine to Russia.
The White House and Pentagon publicly insist there is no official change in administration policy — that they still support Ukraine’s aim of forcing Russia’s military completely out of the country. But along with the Ukrainians themselves, U.S. and European officials are now discussing the redeployment of Kyiv’s forces away from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s mostly failed counteroffensive into a stronger defensive position against Russian forces in the east, according to the administration official and the European diplomat, and confirmed by a senior administration official. This effort has also involved bolstering air defense systems and building fortifications, razor wire obstructions and anti-tank obstacles and ditches along Ukraine’s northern border with Belarus, these officials say. In addition, the Biden administration is focused on rapidly resurrecting Ukraine’s own defense industry to supply the desperately needed weaponry the U.S. Congress is balking at replacing.

Meaning it’s now up to 15%?
BabaOreally, this cannot be true!
“an eventual negotiation to end the war”
Which was ALWAYS the inevitable end of this.
All y’all whoopping for the Ukes to win were wrong.
How many lives lost? Lives ruined? Economic destruction?
Globalists and their endless wars must end.
Start with the American Empire machine.
A negotiated end to the madness is long overdue. Only our billions has kept it from happening to this point.
W/ tax dollars to Ukraine in the toilet, Biden is turning tail from $upporting corrupt Ukraine into “negotiating” an end to the war.....would mean Zelensky having to give up parts of Ukraine to Russia.
The love of money (and power) is the root of all evil. This was an evil and needless war. It should have been negotiated at the first (when Trump offered to broker), BUT there was unaudited money to be made (at the expense of tens of thousands lives ended and disrupted).
There are parts of Ukraine including Crimea which are ethnic Russian and Russian Loyalists. This would be the way to go if you could get both Lutin and Zelensky to buy into it.
Meant to type PUTIN>
Since when is Russia going to ever negotiate with the West again? Why the hell would anyone?
A ll we bring to the table are lies, deceit and death.
Think of all the money and lives they would have saved if they adopted this inevitable policy a year ago.
Are we done stealing yet?
Nah.
The Big Guy still needs his 10%.
I wonder ......although I seriously doubt .......whether Biden
had the common decency to tell Zelensky about the new plan.

I think St Zelensky is getting the message in other ways. Vlad just unleashed the largest most powerful missile attack to date all across Ukraine, from the East to the West…..and there is nothing senile, corrupted old Joe can do to stop it…..I already hear pleas for “ More Money!”

“All we bring to the table are lies, deceit and death.”
Don’t forget perversion.
Who would even want to be in the same room as US officials these days?
Yuck.
Zelensky’s getting the message ........
Vlad just unleashed the largest most powerful missile attack to date all across Ukraine…......
as the Blessed Z was heard saying, “More Money.”
Makes me wonder if Vlad and the venerable Z are
colluding to trade attacks....and splitting the “aid.”
They wouldn’t have lost Odessa if they signed a treaty in 2022. Now they’ll lose Odessa and NATO will probably be gone in 10 years.
“A negotiated end to the madness is long overdue”
Trump would have gotten this done months ago.
