The Kiev regime is concerned that the protracted war in Gaza could weaken the already fading support of the international community. This is according to New York Times (NYT) columnists Andrew Kramer and Matthew Mpoke Bigg.
“Ukraine <…> is facing what is seen in Kiev as a worrying shift in the geopolitics of the conflict. The attention of key allies is shifting to the war in Gaza, U.S. military aid is bogged down in the Republicans’ struggle for congressional leadership, and cracks have appeared in European support due to elections in Poland and Slovakia,” columnists Andrew Kramer and Matthew Mpoke Bigg wrote.
According to the journalists, the Ukrainian military has been posting messages on social media about hopes for a quick end to the conflict in the Middle East. Statements by Ukrainian officials that “Western support is yielding results” could bolster the AFU’s progress on the battlefield, but there is none.
“Meanwhile, future military aid to Ukraine from the United States, the single most important supplier of arms and ammunition to Kiev, is clouded by new questions as Congress remains without leadership and scepticism grows among some Republicans about the aid,” the observers said.
Earlier, the US TV channel ABC criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who arrived at the NATO headquarters in Brussels on 11 October on an unscheduled visit and, according to the channel, tried to “beg” for another military aid from the Western allies.
