“Will they get what they need to win? Ultimately yes, but that doesn’t guarantee them victory,” the publication quoted one of the sources as saying.
The dynamic on the battlefield has changed significantly in recent months, officials say. According to them, this is partly due to the lack of ammunition on the Ukrainian side, but even after the release of aid, serious efforts will be needed to “recover months and years of territorial losses”. At the same time, the US questions Kiev’s tactics and priorities, especially after the failure of the counteroffensive last year, notes the publication.
As US President National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan noted at a briefing on Wednesday, the United States is allowing the possibility of new tactical successes by the Russian Federation in the coming weeks, despite the resumption of US arms deliveries.
The US Senate voted on Wednesday to pass a foreign aid bill for Washington’s allies, including Ukraine, Israel and the administration in Taiwan. In particular, almost 61 billion dollars will be sent to help Ukraine, of which 23.2 billion will be used to replenish the weapons transferred to it from the Pentagon warehouses, 13.8 billion will be spent on military purchases for Ukraine on the open market, 11.3 billion will be used to support “current US military operations in the region”.
