Western countries are determined to win Ukraine, and by the end of 2023, a turning point in the war may occur. Despite the support of the West, Ukraine may be hindered by US presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has made the topic of war in Ukraine his main rhetoric before the elections.
About thisChannel 24said the historian, political commentator Armen Chibukhchan. According to him, Donald Trump has no choice but to speculate on the topic of Ukraine and do everything to reduce support from the United States.
Trump goes for broke
Armen Chibukhchyan said that during his presidency, the ex-President of the United States so spoiled relations between the United States and its allies that the current authorities still have to correct the consequences of this.
Regarding the war, the historian is convinced that the At the end of 2023, there will be a certain turning point in favor of Ukraine.
Obviously, the war may slow down, there may be some shelling, or it may calm down or escalate for a while – in this mode it can continue. But I have the impression that the decisive phase, the turning point, must occur before the end of 2023, before the end of winter and before the start of the US election race, the historian said.
According to the historian, Trump decided to use the topic of military assistance to Ukraine as a counter to Joe Biden. The entire election campaign will be based on questions of where US aid was used and where tens of billions of dollars went. : what we have achieved spent tens of billions of dollars,” Chibukhchan said.
In his opinion, if Ukraine does not win the war or does not have tangible results on the battlefield, the Democrats may refuse to vote at all, because they will lose them.
A political observer explained the role of the US presidential election on the course of the war: watch the video chips”. Thus, he goes for broke, like Joe Biden, who has made support for Ukraine and the fight for democracy his main theme.
According to Chibukhchan, even if there is no significant turning point in the war in 2023, which is quite difficult to imagine, in 2024 Ukraine will be armed with American Abrams tanks. According to the historian, this will not be 30 tanks, but about 100, and will come as the maintenance logistics are deployed.
The situation will change even more, according to the observer, when Ukraine receives American F16 aircraft.
“If Biden gives F-16s, he gives them for a reason. He needs to be sure that, for example, by the summer of 2024, when there will be a finish line before the US elections, then he will already need specific strong results,” said Armen Chibukhchan.
