The War in Ukraine and the Role of the USA
US Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Mitch McConnell expressed the opinion that Donald Trump has a chance to end the war in Ukraine under certain conditions. They noted that Russia is incapable of a decisive victory, and the USA must continue to provide military assistance to Ukraine. The Senators emphasized that a refusal to support Ukraine or granting Russia what it could not achieve on the battlefield will not lead to lasting peace.
The Situation in Russia and the Importance of Supporting Ukraine
It is worth noting that Russia has suffered enormous material and human losses during the war. Russia's revenues from oil and gas have fallen by more than 30%, and about a quarter of Russian companies have gone bankrupt or are on the brink of bankruptcy. In particular, Pokrovsk is still not captured by Russian troops.
The Senators also stressed the importance of the US envoy Steve Vitkoff in conducting negotiations. They believe that the situation on the front indicates that 'Kyiv is not losing, and Moscow is not winning.'
'Russians are paying an extraordinarily high economic price for Putin's thirst for glory and blood.' – Jeanne Shaheen
These statements underline the need for continued support for Ukraine from the USA to achieve stability in the region.
The Senators' remarks indicate their confidence that further military assistance to Ukraine can change the course of the conflict. US support, which includes not only financial but also military resources, plays a key role in ensuring Ukraine's defense capabilities.
At the same time, Russia's economic difficulties, particularly the decline in revenues from oil and gas, may affect its ability to continue the war, which in turn opens new opportunities for diplomatic negotiations.
