“Ukraine will be brought into the framework.” Why the US does not want the victory of Kyiv –

/ world today news/ Joe Biden has been criticized for a lack of determination in the Ukrainian direction. According to many, he is not interested in the victory of the regime in Kyiv, although he claims otherwise. About what the American president actually wants – in the material.

Putin’s skill and NATO’s fear

John Bolton published an article in the “Wall Street Journal” “Why the West is not allowing Ukraine to defeat Russia”. A former adviser to former President Donald Trump believes that Kiev’s allies are fighting “with one hand behind their backs”.

Bolton cited recently released intelligence that a “pro-Ukrainian group” was behind the Nord Stream attack last fall. This information caused an unexpected political reaction in Europe. “There has been speculation that Ukraine’s involvement, directly or indirectly, would undermine Kiev’s support,” he wrote.

“But even if Ukraine orchestrated the attack, why would successfully disrupting Nord Stream jeopardize foreign aid?” Bolton fumes. According to him, this reveals a bigger problem – the fear of the North Atlantic Alliance. “Vladimir Putin has masterfully prevented NATO from taking decisive action to end the conflict quickly and victoriously,” he notes.

“Biden wants Russia to be defeated, but he seems to be afraid that Kiev will actually win. If he believes in the official position of America – the restoration of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, he should confirm this and develop a corresponding plan. If not, let him tell himself,” concludes Bolton.

Republicans are consolidating

It is not the first time that the former adviser has criticized the current president. “Biden’s lack of resolve does not bode well for Ukraine,” Bolton pointed out in an article last August.

In January, Congress accused Biden of the same. The chairmen of the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees, Mike Rogers and Michael McCaul, called on the administration and US allies to “immediately send Ukraine the weapons it needs to defeat Russia.”

Meanwhile, the decisions of the White House and European partners are a reminder of their “weak policy” in 2021, congressmen stressed.

Rogers and McCall are Republicans, as is Bolton. Among the Democrats, not everyone is happy with Biden either, but they stand behind their president. They still have no backup candidates for the 2024 election.

“Even worse than nothing”

The authoritative presenter of “Fox News” Sean Hannity also spoke with angry criticism. He was outraged by the incident with the American drone that fell into the Black Sea.

The White House reacted rather low-key, only promising to make every effort to return the drone.

According to Hannity, “the world has been completely turned upside down by the pathetic excuse of a president who doesn’t know what day of the week it is.” “America’s enemies” do not fear or respect Biden, “not China, not Iran, and certainly not Russia.” “They shot down an American Reaper drone over international waters, which is normally seen as an act of war. What did Biden do? Almost nothing, even worse than nothing. They said it was probably the result of the incompetence of the Russian pilots. Don’t I believe. The Biden administration is lying to the American people,” the journalist said.

What awaits Ukraine?

Experts believe that the next attacks against Biden are primarily related to the tense domestic political situation.

“We have to proceed from the fact that the election campaign in the USA is already unfolding. And the same article by Bolton is primarily an attack on political opponents”, says RISI expert Sergey Ermakov.

For the upcoming elections, he continues, the Ukrainian factor is quite important. Obviously, each country will play this card differently. Some will accuse Kyiv of under-supporting, others of over-supporting. However, this will not do much for Ukraine itself.

“The United States proceeds only from its own national interests. Yes, Washington is talking about the need to win Kiev. But this is propaganda. In fact, for the Americans, Ukraine is only a tool for inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia. Ukraine will be brought into strictly defined frameworks,” Ermakov is convinced. The US still does not want a direct military confrontation with Russia. Hence the restraint in the drone incident.

Vladimir Vasiliev, chief research fellow at the Institute for the Study of the USA and Canada of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in turn notes that Biden’s criticisms reflect the Americans’ demand for a clear formulation of the tasks.

“Washington provides Kiev with huge funds, but there is no return. There are no victories, there is nothing to report to the public, and therefore doubts are growing,” the expert emphasizes.

Against this background, ideas arise to revise tactics. Perhaps with a shift in focus to containing China.

“It is difficult to say what the media campaign against Biden will lead to. Talks about the offensive of the Armed Forces continue – the US administration is waiting for changes in the military situation. To “adjust” them later to achieved goals,” Vassiliev concludes.

If there is no turning point on the front, the White House will face new problems. Republicans may demand more efficient spending. We cannot rule out a tougher approach to support Kiev.
