A significant change in the strategy of the Biden administration regarding Ukraine

According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, according to an official of the Biden administration and a European diplomat based in Washington, in a situation where American and European aid to Ukraine is now in serious danger, The Biden administration and European officials are quietly shifting their focus from supporting Ukraine’s goal of total victory over Russia to improving its position in final negotiations to end the war.

According to “Politico” report, such a negotiation probably means handing over parts of Ukraine’s territory to Russia. The White House and the Pentagon have publicly insisted that there has been no formal change in administration policy and that they continue to support Ukraine’s goal of a complete withdrawal of Russian troops from the country.

The mentioned European and American authorities have also announced the strengthening of air defense systems and the construction of anti-tank barriers and trench lines along the northern border of Ukraine with Belarus. In addition, the Biden administration is focused on quickly revitalizing Ukraine’s defense industry to provide needed weapons that the US Congress refuses to replace.

A government official told Politico magazine said that most of these strategic changes are aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s position in the upcoming peace talks. A White House official has said: the only solution that will finally end this war is negotiation.

The fact is that Biden is facing challenges Many people are serious about continuing the US aid to Ukraine in the midst of heavy electoral competition with the Republicans and Donald Trump in particular. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Biden’s government has sought to fulfill the proposition of Ukraine following Russia, however, in the current situation, it is focused on seizing Ukraine’s defense base against Russian attacks.

Russian President Vladimir Putin also understands the risks facing the United States regarding the issue of Ukraine, especially since the results of recent polls indicate that Trump is more popular than Biden, and Trump has repeatedly stated in his statements that if he wins In the presidential elections, the United States will agree with Russia on Ukraine.

Now there are various whispers about the beginning of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, however, the Biden administration The reason for the potential political risks of this issue cannot support this proposition. John Kirby, head of the strategic communications department at the US National Security Council, said that the Biden administration is nearing the end of its ability to provide aid to Ukraine. There is also the concern from a political point of view that Putin will not announce his readiness to negotiate until the future president of the United States is determined.

He has specifically informed the actions of the Republicans in blocking the efforts of the Biden administration to provide 60 billion dollars in aid to Ukraine. However, according to John Kirby, the US is in daily contact with the Ukrainians and learns about their needs and future plans in the form of the Ukrainian war.

John Kirby has claimed that if Zelensky’s government moves towards peace negotiations with Russia, the United States will not impose its own principles on it and will try to prepare the ground for the negotiations to proceed as desired by the Ukrainians.

However, the interesting point about the approach of the Biden government centered on the war in Ukraine is that this government has made a noticeable and significant change in relation to the said event. At the beginning of the Ukraine war, the Biden administration emphasized that it would support Ukraine as long as necessary, however, this administration now says that it will support Ukraine as long as it can.

Many observers and analysts believe that the new stances of the Biden government centered on the Ukraine war, the adjustment of Washington’s policy in this regard, should be considered a prelude to the start of peace and ceasefire negotiations with Russia. In this regard, the Ukrainians are trying to buy time by emphasizing their defensive positions so that they can finally convince Russia to accept their desired principles in the form of the Ukrainian war.

Earlier this month, the United States announced security packages worth $200 million and $175 million to support Ukraine. These packages are relatively small compared to the much larger aid packages that the government could send in the past. Since the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine in February 2022, the United States has sent more than $46 billion in military aid to Ukraine.

Secretary Anthony Blinken The foreign minister of the Biden administration had previously stated in this regard that it is necessary for Congress to act as soon as possible to advance its national security interests by helping Ukraine to defend itself and ensure the future security of the United States.
