"Perspective Scarves": Ukraine's struggle for weapons and attention gives Putin a chance - Bloomberg

According to journalists, a shortage of military assistance can force Ukraine to agree to peace talks with Russia from the standpoint of weakness, but there is a worse scenario. During the year, the front line in Ukraine has almost not changed, in Europe the problems with the supply of ammunition, and in the USA there are signs of political fatigue from the war. All these signs can give President Vladimir Putin a chance. About it writes Bloomberg.

According to journalists, lack of military assistance can force Ukraine to agree to peace talks with Russia from the standpoint of weakness. Moreover, there is also a worse option if the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can break through the defense of the Armed Forces and leave the Kremlin at all without stimulus. The publication writes that such forecasts are very scared of leaders in Eastern Europe. Politicians are convinced that Russia will not stop at the borders of Ukraine if it wins.

However, there are forces in the West that do not understand it. According to Estonia Prime Minister Kai Callas, some allies are not serious enough to defense. But the Foreign Minister of the country Gabrielus Landsbergis believes that slow supply of weapons can force Ukraine to go to negotiations, which Kiev does not want to do. "I have anxiety about our collective ability to win when I see that new tanks, new rocket systems and even ammunition are not shipped," he said.

The material states that next week the US Congress will restore efforts to admit a help package to Ukraine. It is a $ 61 billion, which was invited by the head of the White House Joe Biden. The President and his supporters hope that the legislators will approve the package by the end of 2023. Moreover, as journalists noted, problems can arise if the front is expanding in Israel. Then the United States will also be forced to transfer artillery ammunition and its ally in the Middle East.

According to an unnamed EU diplomat, concern is that the lack of constant assistance in the field of weapons will give Putin levers of influence. Latvia President Edgar Rinkevich believes that agreements with Russia are not an alternative. According to him, any ceasefire can cause Moscow to become stronger again.
