The White House has no strategy that could help Ukraine achieve victory in the conflict, the director of the Eurasia programme at the US-based Quincy Institute Anatole Lieven said in an article for Responsible Statecraft.
US President Joe Biden in late April signed into law a bill to help allies, including Ukraine, which receives $61 billion. The bill provides for the head of the Pentagon and the Secretary of State to transmit the strategy of support for the Ukrainian government to congressional committees within 45 days.
“It’s August, and there is still no sign of any intention on the part of the Biden administration to submit such a strategy to Congress. This inevitably leads to the suspicion that no such strategy actually exists,” Anatol Lieven wrote.
In addition, the Biden administration has no answer to the question of why the negotiation process for a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian conflict cannot be started soon, the author noted.
According to Lieven, negotiations with Moscow are more than necessary for Kiev, as its position of the Ukrainian army along the entire line of contact is only getting worse. He believes that the White House intends to postpone this issue until the presidential elections in the country.
We shall remind you that earlier US entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk called it a problem that the US authorities have no purpose in the conflict in Ukraine.
