According to the American "politico" on December 27, local time, Biden** and European diplomats in Washington have successively revealed that the United States and Europe's aid to Ukraine is now in serious danger, so Biden and Europe are quietly shifting their focus from supporting Ukraine's goal of completely defeating Russia to improving Ukraine's position in the final negotiations to end the war.
And eventual negotiations could mean ceding parts of Ukraine to Russia.
Ostensibly, the White House and the Pentagon have publicly insisted that there has been no official change in US policy, that they still support Ukraine, and that the ultimate goal is to get Russian troops completely withdrawn from Ukraine.
In fact, Biden and European diplomats said that the United States and Europe are discussing with the Ukrainian authorities the redeployment of Ukrainian troops to counter the Russian army in eastern Ukraine with a defense system, so as to get bargaining chips for Ukraine.
The bargaining chips include strengthening Ukraine's defenses and a rapid boost to Ukraine's own defense industry.
In terms of defense, these Western ** revealed that they will strengthen Ukraine's air defense system, build fortifications, barbed wire barriers, anti-tank obstacles and ditches on Ukraine's northern border with Belarus.
In terms of the defense industry, although the Ukrainian authorities are very proud of their own drone production lines, in the key **, without the hard blood transfusion of the United States and other Western countries, Ukraine has almost nothing to come up with. So, Biden **hopes that Ukraine can produce the much-needed needs that the US Congress is unwilling to provide to Ukraine**.
According to a spokesman for the White House, this strategic shift to national defense is primarily aimed at consolidating Ukraine's position in any future negotiations.
"Negotiations are the only way to finally end this war," the White House official said. However, the person also stressed that there are no plans for negotiations at the moment, and the Ukrainian army is still launching an offensive in some places.
The ambiguous rhetoric of the White House member is not difficult to understand. After all, the current Ukraine does not have bargaining chips.
But everyone can see that strengthening defense and defense industry cannot become a bargaining chip for Ukraine, at most it is a bargaining chip for UkraineSedatives, what impact can it have on Russia?
Ukraine, which is in dire need of continued large-scale blood transfusions from Europe and the United States, has lost its sharpness and offensive on the battlefield. In the current Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, Russia undoubtedly has the upper hand.
So, what is the confidence of Western politicians who want to pull Russia to the negotiating table?
According to European diplomats in the United States, the European Union has raised the threat of speeding up Ukraine's accession to NATO in order to "put Ukrainians in the best possible position for negotiations with Moscow."
The New York Times reported last week that Putin should be willing to compromise if Russia is allowed to retain control of 20% of Ukraine's eastern territory.
In fact, the best chip is Ukraine's ** success.
However, the defeat cost Ukraine its advantage, even though Ukraine's propaganda campaign for the campaign was comparable to that of a Hollywood blockbuster.
Even the United States described "Ukraine's **Zelensky's previous ** as an almost failure", and said that Zelensky has been "boasting about Ukraine's **" since June this year
Although Western politicians such as Biden**, the British Foreign Secretary, and the Dutch caretaker prime minister are still cheering for Ukraine and boasting about their promises, what they say well does not mean that they can be done, especially the words of Western politicians, which are difficult to convince.
The situation on the Israeli side has further amplified the effect of Ukraine's defeat.
At present, the United States does not have the ability to defend the two, so it can only choose one of the two, and recently Israel said that Israel's war may last for many months.
Between Ukraine and Israel, who will the United States choose?You and I know that.
Now Biden is facing the most anxious situation since taking office.
The "Bidennomics" touted by Biden did not make the US economy take off, but was looked down upon by many Western economists, and Biden's work approval rating was extremely unoptimistic.
Looking back on the past few years, Biden's domestic energy seems to be far less than his efforts on the international stage.
It's just that his report card on the international stage is also terrible, which further weakens his competitiveness next year.
Biden wants a quick victory on Israel's side, and he does not want to get bogged down in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but Israel's performance disappoints Biden. The United States has been dragged into the water, and the entry of the Houthis in Yemen alone has already restrained Biden's energy.
Biden's layout for the Middle East has been completely disrupted, and the prestige and authority of the United States in the Middle East and among its European allies is weakening.
Biden wants Israel to behave humanely on the surface, and he doesn't want the moral high ground to collapse, but Israel's performance is a humiliation for Biden. Biden is losing voters in the United States, and Trump, who is being encircled by the Democratic Party in the United States, is threatening Biden's re-election even more.
Biden's layout for next year is completely messed up.
Biden's unrestricted and bottomless support for Israel and the collapse of Ukraine's battlefield performance have all poked a bigger hole in Biden's vote base next year.
So, how much energy is left for Biden to support the Ukrainian authorities?There should be a few, but not much.
When Zelensky went to the United States not long ago, Biden's tone had changed: from "the United States will support Ukraine for as long as Ukraine needs" for more than a year, to "how long can the United States hold on".
Biden, of course, will not abandon Zelensky right away**, but he will also not admit that Ukraine has failed, and he will whitewash the failure as a "success".
Biden said to Zelensky: Ukraine has won "a huge victory." Putin has failed".
The mouths of American politicians are full of the essence of nonsense.
Some Western analysts pointed out that Biden said this to prepare for negotiations by promoting a "partial victory", but in the end it may lead to the separation of part of Ukraine's territory.
The U.S. Congress said: Although discussions on peace talks have begun, Biden cannot publicly concede, because then Biden will face political risks.
As a result, the voice of "strengthening Ukraine's defense and defense industry, and even ceding Ukraine's east to Russia, so that Russia and Ukraine can sit back at the negotiating table" was released through the mouthpiece of the United States and the United States.
Biden needs to pull away from Ukraine.
