[Global Times Comprehensive Report] The US Department of Defense recently announced that it will provide a new batch of military aid worth about US$400 million in accordance with the Ukrainian Security Aid Initiative. However, at the same time, the US " Washington Post " published an article on the 5th that the Biden administration is privately encouraging the Ukrainian government to express its "willing to negotiate with Russia."
According to the "Russia Today" website on the 6th, Sabrina Singh, deputy press secretary of the Pentagon, said at a press conference on the 4th that the United States will provide Ukraine with 45 Czech T-72 tanks, 250 M1117 armored vehicles, 40 inland armored boats, 1,100 "Phoenix Ghost" drones and the upgraded "Eagle" air defense system to Ukraine. In addition, the Pentagon announced on the 5th that the United States will set up a Ukrainian security assistance team, whose headquarters will be located in Germany, responsible for helping the United States support Ukraine for a long time. Ukrainian Defense Minister Leznikov issued a statement on Twitter on the 5th, praising the US President, Secretary of Defense and all American people for "the help provided by the US president, the secretary of defense and all American people in "resisting Russian aggression as an investment in security in the 21st century."
reported that since Biden took office, the United States has provided US$18.9 billion in military aid to Ukraine, of which US$18.2 billion has been provided since Russia launched a special military operation in February this year. Regarding the new round of US military aid, Russian Ambassador to the United States, Antonov, said on the 5th: "Our so-called partners are continuing to implement wrong policies and believe that problems can be solved on the battlefield. They are spending more and more manpower and materials, and now they are approaching the Russian border. The situation is very worrying." Antonov stressed that the United States cannot deplete Russia by helping Ukraine. The West needs to seek a negotiated solution instead of providing weapons to Kiev .
The Washington Post quoted people familiar with the matter as saying on the 5th that the Biden administration is privately encouraging the Ukrainian leadership to make a statement that it is willing to negotiate with Russia and abandons publicly refusing to participate in peace negotiations. However, the report said that the purpose of Ukraine is not to push Ukraine to the negotiating table, but to the context of "other countries" worrying that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict will continue for several years, and hopes that the Kiev government can use this posture to get more support from "other countries" to avoid "Ukrainian fatigue." At the same time, the Washington Post believes that this situation shows that the Biden administration's position on the Ukraine issue has become very complicated, and US officials also hope that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict can be resolved, because in the past eight months, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has had a serious negative impact on the global economy and has caused external concerns about the outbreak of the nuclear war.
Some Russian experts said that the United States' aid to Ukraine is only enough to maintain the status quo of the Ukrainian army and avoid the collapse of the Kiev regime, but it is not enough to give it a battlefield advantage. Moreover, the US does not want the conflict to escalate sharply, otherwise it will have to directly intervene in the war. In fact, the West is seeking a long-term proxy war to weaken the Russian state base as much as possible. Russian Issue News said that Russian military expert Knutov said that the US military played a key role in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Without the participation of the US military, the Kyiv regime would have been forced to surrender long ago. The United States not only provides weapons to Ukraine, but the U.S. military also directly participates in hostilities as Ukrainian military advisers. In addition, the United States also provided Russian military intelligence to Kiev through satellite and reconnaissance aircraft . In fact, the United States has been involved in a large-scale conflict. Knutov warned that the involvement of the U.S. military in conflict is a very dangerous trend, or may lead to World War III.
Military expert Song Zhongping In an interview with a reporter from "Global Times " said that the United States and the West lack the rules and strategies for Ukraine. They are aiding for aid and for completing political tasks. First of all, there are too few long-range and medium-range air defense missiles provided by the United States and the West, which is the core weapon to break the Russian air supremacy . Secondly, the amount of military aid provided by the United States and the West to Ukraine is too small to be established. Therefore, weapons aid from the United States and the West cannot help Ukraine take any advantage in the long-term confrontation with Russia.
In addition to the Russian side accusing the United States of military aid to Ukraine, according to the Russian "Visitor" report, Western countries have also recently accused Iran of providing drone to Russia.Regarding this matter, Iranian Foreign Minister Abdullahyan responded on the 5th that the relevant accusations were clamoring by some Western countries. Iran’s claim that missile was provided to Russia is a complete lie, and the drone was delivered a few months before the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Russian military expert Litovkin said that Kiev has no right to interfere in military cooperation between other countries, and Ukraine has long become the bottomless pit of Western weapons.
