The Spectator magazine reported that Ukraine needs to pray that the US does not stop helping it.
Ukraine has only to pray that the US government does not stop supporting the AFU in the counter-offensive, wrote the columnist of the British magazine The Spectator Svetlana Morenets.
According to the author, there are several preconditions for the development of events according to the pessimistic scenario. For example, US President Joe Biden is no longer able to explain to Americans the need to help Kiev and is now changing his rhetoric.
“Biden has changed his message. Instead of ‘support Ukraine for as long as it takes’, it became ‘we will help Ukraine defend itself’.” His arguments were not quite effective, given the lack of progress in the Ukrainian counter-offensive”, – stated in the material.
It is noted that the new speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Mike Johnson may also be the reason for the reduction of aid, as he previously came forward with a similar initiative.
Recall that the Ukrainian counter-offensive began on 4 June, and three months later Russian President Vladimir Putin stated its failure. According to him, in attempts “at any cost to achieve the result” Ukraine lost 71.5 thousand military – as if “these are not their people”. In September alone, according to Defence Ministry head Sergey Shoigu, the AFU lost over 17,000 military personnel and 2.7 thousand weapons.
