The most important thing was what happened in the administration Biden.
Political scientist Andrei Piontkovsky, who is in Washington, noted that the West had crossed all “red lines” and abruptly decided to give Ukraine almost everything. He also shed light on domestic politics in the US presidential administration.
This was mentioned in an interview with UNIAN.
“When asked what the goals of the United States in the Russian-Ukrainian war were, the administration had two answers. One of them was a victory for Ukraine. territorial integrity and weaken Russia to such an extent that it could never repeat this again, but there was and still is another high-ranking official – Biden's national security aide Jake Sullivan, who answered this question differently, that the goal is to prevent the defeat of Ukraine. , similar wordings, but, in fact, they are very different,” the political scientist said.
According to him, all decisions on military assistance packages for Ukraine were accompanied by a large internal discussion.
“We remember this whole story. It was perfectly restored by a journalist who asked Biden a question at a joint conference with Zelensky in the White House about the supply of weapons: at first in America they said that in no case should Javelin be transferred to Ukraine, since this would provoke Putin, then – that howitzers, HIMARS, Patriots cannot be transferred, and, in the end, they are transferred, what will happen with tanks, with ATACMS? Biden was very embarrassed by this question, and it was clear that he himself was already bothering with these “red lines” which the States handcuffed themselves on the issue of assistance,” the expert noted.
According to the political scientist, the West has decided that it must defeat Ukraine. Support has especially increased sharply since October 10, when the campaign to destroy Ukrainian infrastructure began.
The last Davos Forum was also a festival of solidarity with Ukraine.
And it's not just about sympathy for Ukraine, the West finally figured out what was going on.
“This was said by Stoltenberg, whom we criticized for so long and rightly in November-December 2021 before the start of the invasion. Then he each time began his speeches by listing what NATO would not do. This encouraged Putin. Now he very clearly articulated a new understanding of the situation by the West Responding to reproaches that one has to spend a lot of money to help Ukraine, Stoltenberg said: “Yes, we pay with money, and Ukrainians pay with blood.” And if they fail, we will have to pay with blood,” the political scientist reminded.< /p>
According to Piontkovsky, it took a whole year of war for the West to understand that the fate of the world is being decided in Ukraine. The Ukrainian army defends the West from the invasion of the Russian horde.
The political scientist also reassured the appearance of the majority of Republicans in the House of Representatives and expectations of a decrease in support for Ukraine.
“Yes, there are about 30-40 Trumpist bastards who openly hate Ukraine. Trump, after the last help, said that Biden is leading the United States to the Third World War, that this needs to be stopped. But there are only 30-40 Trumpists out of 220 Republicans. The Reagan wing “The Republican Party won, took over the Trumpists within the party. And in these two days of the German crisis after Scholz's decision, it was the Republican leaders who began to criticize Biden for the lack of assistance. Biden was not going to give Abrams, but they said if Scholz is hiding behind this, then give them immediately. And this new positive phenomenon is that the Republicans are also helping the Victory Party of Ukraine inside the Biden administration. I think that now there is no turning back,” Piontkovsky assured.
An analyst and political scientist Andrei Piontkovsky also noted that the head of the Kremlin is at an impasse. According to the expert, General Zaluzhny depicted the end of Putin.
