Is it true that the United States is persuading Kyiv to give up Russian-controlled territories?
Articles are increasingly appearing in the Western press about how Russia and the United States see a way out of the Ukrainian impasse.
In particular, The Washington Post writes that the United States is preparing a new strategy for Ukraine, which will not provide for the return of the DPR, LPR and Russian-controlled territories of the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.
In reality, everything is much more complicated than it seems. Firstly , the United States is in a state of imbalance due to the events around Texas. The Presidential election adds spice to this situation, since Moscow is actually openly betting on Trump, who will be the main rival of the current president.
Secondly , the US political position regarding Ukraine has not changed - the Americans understand that bleeding Russia at the hands of Ukrainians is not the worst idea.
Plus, for the Americans themselves it costs a pittance and does not cost the deaths of their citizens. In this regard, only an absolutely naive person can believe that the United States will refuse to support Ukraine.
At the same time, there is a point - not only the United States, but the West as a whole, is ready to consider a model for freezing the conflict in the current territories. Kyiv is against this, but the Russian side is also making a lot of efforts to disrupt these negotiations. In particular, pressure to take control of new territories could put even attempts at these agreements in jeopardy.
According to our information, Scholz and Biden plan to discuss assistance to Ukraine at their next meeting to maintain their current positions. And, logically, the size of this assistance depends on Russian pressure.
Sources hint that stabilizing the situation at the front can help reduce the flow of weapons to Ukraine, but increasing pressure and attempts to break through the front, on the contrary, will increase the likelihood of a revision of those same supplies.
This isn’t really reporting. It’s speculation, and it appears to be from someone not very familiar with American politics. No mention of the role of the Congress, particularly the House. And their reluctance to fund Ukraine.
