In the West, talks about aid to Ukraine continue, but Russia continues its attacks / Article

The proximity of the US presidential election is also causing tension. There is concern in Ukraine about future military aid, as Kyiv received only a tenth of the aid approved by the US Congress this year.

Ukraine hopes to acquire Tomahawk missiles

It was mysterious. This is what Volodymyr Zelenskyi said about the published details of the Ukrainian victory plan. The US newspaper “The New York Times” cited an anonymous American official who revealed that one of the things that Ukraine has identified as essential in its victory plan is Tomahawk long-range missiles.

“You see what is happening now in the media. Ukraine wants a lot of missiles, like the Tomahawk and so on, but it was secret information between Ukraine and the White House. How do you understand these reports? So, it means that there is no relationship between the partners,” Zelenskiy admitted.

Depending on the configuration, Tomahawk missiles can fly up to 2,500 kilometers away. Ukraine currently has no equivalent weapon in its arsenal. In addition, the West is not allowed to carry out strikes deeper into Russian territory.

The US wants a clear action plan from Ukraine

“I think it’s not a story about trust. The US has such an interesting habit of deliberately leaking information from time to time, including classified information .You can often read in various media that an anonymous official has said something. Well, that’s their practice in the US that they are trying to give some kind of signal to the international community or at the house,” explained the director of the Center for Geopolitical Research, associate professor at Riga Stradins University, Māris Andžans.

“What could be, of course, is some fatigue in the US from the constant demands of Ukraine. We don’t understand it so well in our region, but looking at the US situation, what officials often show is that Ukrainian officials are saying. too often comes new requirements, what kind of weapons are needed, but there is no clear plan back.”

This is also stated in the already mentioned “New York Times” article – that senior US officials do not believe that the leadership of Ukraine has determined exactly how to use the missiles at all -time to dramatically change the situation on the battlefield.

“What the US was waiting for was to drive the Russian forces out of the territory of Ukraine in a specific way. There was no real answer here, “Andzhan said.

Russia continues to terrorize the people of Ukraine

Moreover, Ukraine is not the only one that the US supports.

“Another point is, of course, other allies of the United States. Because they need weapons too. I basically mean Israel – if at some point it has to go help more, or Taiwan, so the United States looks more broadly than The truth is unpleasant in Ukraine,” said – closed Anjan.

While Western leaders continue to debate which weapons to grant and how to authorize their use, Russia continues to invade Ukraine and kill its people .

In addition, North Korean troops are now adding to the ranks of the invading country’s troops. Ukrainian officials have repeatedly said they are confused as to why this is not causing more outrage in the international community.

“Even mice and cockroaches, but not the Russian ambassador in this room, know that none of the countries providing aid to Ukraine are subject to Security Council sanctions. On the other hand, receiving support from a fully sanctioned North Korea is a shameless violation of the UN Charter,” emphasizes Ukraine’s UN ambassador Serhiy Kislica.

NATO and the Pentagon report that North Korean forces have already reached Russia’s Kursk region, where Ukraine launched a cross-border attack in August.

CONTEXT:

Russia’s unprovoked and unprovoked attack on Ukraine began 2022. 24 of the year in February. The Kremlin’s propaganda aggressively promised to capture Kyiv in three days, but the incompetent and strong resistance of the Ukrainians prevented the Kremlin from carrying out its plans.

After the problems, the Kremlin withdrew the army from Kyiv region, but continued the attack in other regions. In the fall of 2022, the Ukrainian army managed to free him in a successful operation Kharkiv region and part Kherson regionincreasing expectations for the ability to defeat the opponent.

However, the offensive against Ukraine launched in the summer of 2023 was not so successful, which the Ukrainian army explains both by the insufficient supply of members- armies from the Western allies and with the deep defense line and extensive minefields created by the Russian army. Now at the front the career war has begun with grim battles, so you must prepare for a long time for aid to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Russia regularly attacks civilian targets and is expected to target energy infrastructure like last year.
