The Ukrainian Independent News Agency recently released a message saying: The Russian army recently launched a fierce attack on Avdeyevka (the Russian name for Avadiivka), and the positions of the Ukrainian army were almost completely surrounded; At present, the main forces of the Ukrainian army have withdrawn from this area, but there are still many Ukrainian troops under deep encirclement.
The war situation here also "touched" the heart of Washington, thousands of miles away. John Kirby, the strategic coordinator of the White House National Security Council, admitted at a press conference a few days ago that Avdeyevka "is in danger of falling under the control of the Russian army."
Kirby said that the fighting there is particularly fierce, and Ukraine's briefing to the US side shows that the situation is very critical, and the Russian army is closing in on the positions of the Ukrainian army every day.
We have the impression that the White House rarely talks about specific battles on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, which is a matter of concern to the Pentagon; This time the White House suddenly cares so much about the front line, in fact, it does not show how much Biden cares about the war situation in Ukraine, but deliberately said it to the House of Representatives, what the White House wants to say is very simple: the Ukrainian army is losing, and it needs $60 billion in military aid to replenish its blood, so quickly approve the aid bill!
We note that the $95 billion foreign aid bill approved by the Senate before includes $60 billion in military aid to Ukraine that the Republicans do not want, and does not have the US-Mexico border appropriations that the Republicans want. As long as the House of Representatives passes this bill, it will be tantamount to telling the world that the Republican Party cannot stop Biden; This will be a shot in the arm for Biden's 2024** election.
The dignified sleeping king, what can the old eyes be dizzy? What about a few friends who can't be seen? I can't remember how my son died, so what can I do? As long as the Republican Party can be suppressed, 2024 ** is not yet hand-to-hand?
Yes, the $95 billion aid bill is not only evidence of the United States' planning and financing of wars everywhere, but also a product of American partisanship.
As for Ukraine? Even if $60 billion in aid is approved, not much will actually reach Ukraine; An investigation found that most of the so-called military aid to Ukraine by the United States actually fell into the pockets of the American fire dealers themselves, and it is not up to the Kyiv authorities to decide when these equipment will be produced and when it will be shipped to Ukraine.
So the White House doesn't care about the losses of the Ukrainian army on the front line at all, although the Ukrainian army is piled up with corpses in the trenches there, the White House will not be a little more anxious - what they are really anxious about is that if the Congress does not approve this money, it will not fall into the pockets of the military-industrial complex, and it will not be used as a bargaining chip for Biden to buy votes and sponsorship from these giants.
The Ukrainian army's battle in Avdeyevka is indeed very hard, especially the general who has a "butcher" commander-in-chief and is known for sending soldiers to the front line to die.
In such a war situation, it is actually difficult for the Ukrainian army to turn the tables, all they can do is to slow down the advance of the Russian army, and they can strive for a slightly more decent bargaining chip in the future. As for Western aid, it has long lost its initial enthusiasm, and the 50 billion euros proposed by the European Union are divided into 4 years, and they are only promised; The $60 billion in military aid promised by the United States is still being debated in Congress.
Although Zelensky is still hard-mouthed and still playing a tough guy, the disadvantage of the Ukrainian army on the front line cannot be changed; The military aid that the White House and the Pentagon are looking forward to is actually a delicacy on their plates, and it has little to do with Ukraine. Judging from the current situation, the best way out for Ukraine is to negotiate with Russia, or does Zelensky have other ideas? Want to "change the cage for the bird" in Ukraine, as some conspiracy theories say?
