Shifting Winds For Ukraine Support: Secretary Austin Warns Ending Aid Means Russia Will Certainly Win – Senator Tuberville Calls the War Too Costly: ‘It’s Time to Get This Conflict Over With’
Another day, another series of developments forecasting a hard future for the formidable international coalition that’s been sustaining the Ukrainian war effort for 20 months.
On the one hand, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, in testimony in the Senate, left it clear just how much Ukraine is dependent on American help – in a way that would have been unimaginable a few months ago.
On the other hand, Republican member of the Armed Services Committee, Senator from Alabama, Tommy Tuberville, unambiguously called the moment as perfect for peace negotiations.
Taken side-by-side, these two developments show just how much the geopolitical conditions have changed from before the failed Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Secretary Austin stated plainly that Russia would be successful in Ukraine unless the United States kept up its support for Kiev.
