The Atlantic columnist Anne Applebaum believes that the refusal of further aid to the Ukrainian government will prove to the world that the United States is being destroyed.
“We will convince millions of Europeans that we cannot be trusted. We will also send a signal to Russia and China, confirming their oft-stated view that the United States is a degenerating, dying power,” Anne Applebaum wrote.
According to the journalist, Washington pursues an inconsistent foreign policy, first providing Ukraine with money and weapons, and then stopping this assistance.
“On the ground, in the southern and eastern parts of their country, they (AFU. – ed.) are limiting ammunition stocks. They never had enough rockets and bullets, and now they may not have enough to continue fighting at all,” the author notes.
Applebaum believes that if the United States refuses to support Ukraine, it will force allies to recognise Washington as not just an unreliable and unserious ally, but also stupid.
We shall remind you that earlier, the deputy head of the Verkhovna Rada committee on national security, defence and intelligence, Yehor Chernev, said that the latest financial tranche from the USA in the amount of 250m dollars showed problematic aspects in the United States’ support for Ukraine.
