Ukraine|The US intelligence community’s confidence in the defeat of Kiev
| The failure of European leaders to agree on the use of frozen Russian assets, warnings to Macron about Moscow's harsh response, the risk of conflict between NATO and Russia in case of overt action in Ukraine, and support for the strengthening of the Mobilization Act by Kiev are some of the most important events surrounding the war. |
According to the international group Tasnim News, Seymour Hersh, a prominent American journalist, wrote in an article that The American intelligence community knows that Ukraine has virtually no chance of winning against Russia, but officials in the administration of US President Joe Biden deny any progress in peace talks.
He wrote: The American intelligence community knows that Ukraine has little chance to win. Their main counter-offensive failed last year and the army is tired and short on ammunition. In this situation, the prospect of peace negotiations has become clearer than before and there is no alternative.
Hersh pointed to the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin last week that “Moscow is ready for serious talks and all conflicts will finally be resolved through resolve peacefully. But it would be “ridiculous” to start negotiations just because the ammunition of the Ukrainian army has run out. Zelensky’s work continues to rule out any chance of significant progress in peace talks. According to him, they gave Zelensky an ultimatum: “No negotiations or any agreement. Otherwise we will not support your government with $45 billion in civilian funding.”
Furthermore, according to Seymour Hersh, Joe Biden’s stance on Ukraine will play against him in his campaign against Donald Trump. He wrote: This is the situation created by the Biden administration. Washington’s refusal to seek a moderate solution to the conflict in Ukraine, as well as his failure to curb Israel’s ongoing aggression against Gaza, could lead to his defeat in the presidential elections in November.
This journalist lamented at the end: “However, Biden still promises that the United States will continue to pay Ukrainians to fight and die in a proxy war that can and must be stopped.” .”
