Washington's recently approved aid to Kiev won't be able to prevent Russia from succeeding on the front, said the US President's National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, reports the British newspaper Financial Times.
Sullivan expects more “Russian breakthroughs” on the front line “in the next period”, despite the new US aid package approved last month, the newspaper said, citing Sullivan's speech.
At the same time, Biden's adviser said that Ukraine plans to go on the offensive in 2025. As the publication notes, these words of Sullivan demonstrate how the White House sees the development of the conflict in Ukraine if Joe Biden wins the US presidential election.
Any new Ukrainian offensive in 2025 will depend on increased funding from Congress and White House approval, but Donald Trump is skeptical about aid to Ukraine and has vowed to try to quickly end the conflict and push for a settlement. "through negotiations”, notes the publication.
