Biden met with Zelensky in Ukraine on the 12th, which is Zelensky's third visit to Washington since the escalation of the situation between Russia and Ukraine. Although Zelensky came to seek US assistance, his attitude was unusually firm. In his first public speech, he openly criticized the US Congress for delaying the decision to agree to further aid to Ukraine, calling it a "political betrayal of soldiers." This position of Zelensky has caused some controversy. US Republican Senator Vance declared that this was a disgrace to the United States, and netizens also left comments, comparing Zelensky to an unfilial son who only begs for money from his parents.
Zelensky's urgent statement and somewhat out-of-control emotions mainly stem from the grim situation of the war on the Russian-Ukrainian front, which is very unfavorable for the Ukrainian army. In previous battles, the Ukrainian army failed to achieve the desired results and, instead suffered heavy losses, losing a significant amount of ** assistance from the United States and NATO. At present, with the full operation of the Russian defense industry, batch after batch of new ** equipment has been delivered to the Russian army. Military experts estimate that the Russian army is fully capable of launching a large-scale campaign this winter. However, Ukraine does not have its own defense industrial system, and its equipment is supported by the United States and NATO countries.
Due to the poor effectiveness of the Ukrainian counterattack, coupled with the resurgence of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, this has distracted Ukraine's attention. The situation as a whole seems to show that Ukraine is in a very difficult situation. Ukraine is facing a severe shortage of aid, with a serious lack of support from both the United States and NATO countries, and the Ukrainian army will not even be able to survive the harsh winter. Once Russia launches a large-scale military operation, the Ukrainian army will have to be beaten passively. If the aid is not arrived in time, the front-line forces in Ukraine are in danger of collapsing at any time, and the initiative of the war is completely in the hands of Russia, which is undoubtedly a threat that cannot be ignored for Zelensky and his **.
At present, the US Congress is reluctant to approve a new round of aid, which makes Zelensky anxious.
