The next few months will be key in the war between Ukraine and Russia, an anonymous high-ranking official of the Ukrainian government said in a comment for Reuters . Ukrainian military and political leaders are increasingly aware that the time factor will play a decisive role in their future strategies, especially against the background of possible changes in the international political situation.
“This winter is a critical moment... I hope the war is coming to an end. Now we will determine the positions of both parties at the negotiations, the starting positions," the official said.
He also admitted that Trump's victory made Ukraine's invitation to NATO less likely and created a risk of aid cuts.
"I hope the Biden administration will try to avoid that risk by accelerating (its) aid," the official said.
We will remind, Biden has already announced that they plan to allocate all the agreed aid of $6 billion to Ukraine by the end of Biden's term.
