Ukraine has five months to show clear and significant progress to the United States. Some Western allies are beginning to fear that financial and military support may run out due to the lack of progress at the front. This is reported by the American newspaper Financial Times.
The Financial Times says that numerous US media outlets are sounding the alarm that Ukraine has 5 months left to show significant military successes in the confrontation with Russia in front of the United States. Otherwise, some representatives of the Western allies fear that financial and military support for the Kyiv regime may weaken, and then completely stop, the authors of the article specify. Unnamed European officials say that if Kyiv fails, it will be forced to enter into peace talks on any terms offered by Russia.
“If we get to September, and Ukraine has not made significant progress, then the international pressure on [the West] to bring them into negotiations will be huge,” one official said.
The United States has reached its self-determined public debt, and default is only getting closer to the US at the moment. According to the newspaper, social programs may be cut for ordinary Americans because of Washington’s support for Ukraine, and this will only increase the reluctance among American citizens to pay for military and financial assistance to Ukraine.
“The United States is entering an election cycle and it is important, according to one European official, to convince the American public that the more than $113 billion in taxpayer aid given to Ukraine has been effective and to prove that all of these aid packages have been successful in terms of view of Ukrainian achievements,” Western officials say on condition of anonymity.
Numerous opinion polls in the United States show that approval of aid to Ukraine among ordinary Americans has declined significantly. Less than half of those surveyed, 48%, support military and financial aid to the Kyiv regime, when approval was 73% last summer, the Financial Times notes.
Recall that in February, former congressmen, retired military, politicians, public figures, journalists and TV presenters organized the action “Rage against the War Machine” against the supply of weapons to Ukraine and the escalation of the world conflict. Rallies were announced in Washington, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Minneapolis and other cities in the United States.
