US Policy on Ukraine Support: Lack of Serious Discussions
The White House and Congress are currently lacking serious discussions regarding new aid for Ukraine, even though the previous support package approved during Joe Biden's presidency is set to expire.
According to sources, supporters of Ukraine in Congress claim that despite the current military and financial support nearing its end, there are no serious conversations taking place about a new aid package.
European officials have stated that they have not received assurances that the United States will continue to provide intelligence, which is crucial for Ukraine's ability to strike Russian forces.
When the White House talks about its relationship with Ukraine, it tends to focus more on what it receives rather than what it plans to offer.
Following recent events in the Oval Office, the United States and Ukraine are reviewing agreements regarding American investments and access to Ukrainian resources.
One of the discussed agreements concerns access to Ukraine's strategic natural resources, which is currently under active consideration. It has taken nearly six weeks to rewrite the document that ultimately was not signed.
Trump’s actual desire seems to be a deal with Russia, but achieving this may require sidestepping issues related to Ukraine.
Background:
- The US has presented its European allies with proposals for a "peace agreement" between Russia and Ukraine that include easing sanctions against Russia in the event of a prolonged ceasefire.
- Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that President Donald Trump would abandon attempts to negotiate a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine if there are no clear signs that it is achievable.
