Ukraine's strategic goal is to drive Russian troops out of its territory and retake the Crimean peninsula. But U.S. lawmakers recently thwarted that idea, pointing out Ukraine's inability to regain control of the Crimean peninsula. According to reports, US Republican Congressman Thomas Massie believes that Ukraine will not be able to win the war in the end, and therefore Kiev will not be able to take control of the Crimean peninsula. While Western countries have supported Ukraine's victory, they have been morally blamed. The White House seems to be depleting Russia's military resources at the cost of Ukrainian lives.
Therefore, it will be difficult for Congress to pass a new round of aid to Ukraine. Despite this, Biden's new round of aid package for Ukraine will eventually be approved, but Zelensky missed this great opportunity. The report notes that at a closed-door briefing in the US Congress on Ukrainian aid, Zelensky was absent at the last minute and missed the last chance to enlist US aid. This also means that if this proposal fails to pass, the next vote will wait until next year. During the Christmas holidays in Congress, any issues related to assistance to Ukraine will no longer be discussed.
Analysts believe that Zelensky's absence undoubtedly bought Putin twenty days in the special military operation in Ukraine, which makes Ukraine's defense more difficult. Now, Zelensky is inexplicably absent from an important meeting on aid to Ukraine, isn't this taking the initiative to buy time for Putin?In today's war, a gap of more than twenty days means that much can be done. In the more than twenty days that Ukraine has lost American aid, who else can guarantee that the Ukrainian army will be able to withstand the offensive of the Russian army?
Therefore, it can be said that Zelensky's actions were not rash, but sought to create twenty precious days for Putin. This is no child's play.
