Painful but not a fatal blow, it characterizes Kiev that the US government decided, after the Ukrainian president and US President and US Vice President Jay Di Vance.
What does the freeze of US aid in Ukraine signifies
According to military analysts, without US aid, the front in the can withstand six months to one year, provided Europe and Ukraine work constantly to fill the gap created by the US assistance.
In a recent interview with British journalist Pierce Morgan, Zelenski had said that at present, Ukraine manufactures 40% of the weapons it needs while the US supplies the remaining 30%. “You can imagine what will happen to us without this critical 30%,” the Ukrainian president had added.
Military analysts argue that it will be felt mainly in Ukraine’s Air Defense as it will leave Ukrainian forces exposed to Russian attacks by rockets and drones. For the Ukrainians, it will also be a lack of long range Himars missiles, which Kiev cannot substitute with similar weapons systems.
Because Zelenski returns to the table in spite of humiliation
In the first comments following the decision of the Trump government to suspend military aid, Zelenski said Ukraine was ready to return to the negotiating table and sign the agreement with the Americans to assign their rare land, “anywhere”.
The first stages of ending the war, he stressed, could predict release of captives, an immediate cessation of fire in heaven and sea provided that Russia would do the same.
Despite the public humiliation he suffered before international media by the US leadership in the White House last Friday.
The reason he chooses this attitude is because he realizes that the margins are very narrowed for Ukraine and that despite the good option of Europeans, it is not certain that Europe will move as quickly as the circumstances require to strengthen Ukraine’s common defense and defense.
