It is noted that when Russia launched a full-scale war in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, US President Joe Biden set three goals for his country. Ukraine’s victory was not among them. The wording the White House used to describe its mission was to support Ukraine “as long as it takes.” It was deliberately vague.
The phrase that the White House used in the context of describing its mission at the time – to support Ukraine “as long as necessary” – was purposely worded so vaguely. So this raised the question: how much time is needed and for what exactly?
According to the publication, Eric Green said that Washington did not promise to help Kyiv return “all lands” occupied by Russia.
The US has not promised to help Ukraine return all the lands occupied by Russia, much less the vast territories in eastern Ukraine and the Crimean peninsula seized during its initial invasion in 2014
According to the publication, according to the White House, the victory was beyond the scope of Ukraine’s capabilities, even if the Armed Forces had received more significant support from the West.
“The most important goal for Ukraine was to survive as a sovereign, democratic country free to integrate with the West,” said Eric Green.
Biden also wanted the US and its allies to remain united, and insisted on avoiding a direct conflict between Russia and NATO.
Looking back on his leadership during the war in Ukraine – which will undoubtedly shape his legacy as a statesman – Biden has achieved these goals. But such success does not bring satisfaction even to some of his closest allies and advisers
“Unfortunately, that’s the kind of success you don’t feel good about,” Green added in an interview with Time.
We will remind
