According to the latest information from ABC News, the support of the West is crucial for Ukraine in its fight with Russia, but uncertainty about the duration of this support is causing serious discussions in Kyiv political circles, especially in the context of the possibility of Donald Trump being elected to the post of US president.
Analysts believe that the Armed Forces will be able to organize a counteroffensive at the end of the year.
After nearly 30 months of conflict with Russia, Ukraine's difficulties on the battlefield are only piling up, and vital US support is increasingly dependent on shifting political winds.
A six-month delay in military aid to the US, Ukraine's biggest sponsor, has given Kremlin forces an opportunity to advance on the front lines. Ukrainian forces are fighting desperately to contain the slow but inevitable advances of the larger and better-equipped Russian army.
"The next two or three months will probably be the most difficult this year for Ukraine," military analyst Michael Kofman of the Carnegie Endowment for Ukraine said in a recent podcast.
At the same time, another unpleasant problem for Ukraine loomed in the background: how long will it be able to count on the political and military support of the West, which is of crucial importance for its further struggle?
On Monday, former President Donald Trump chose Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate in the November US presidential election. Vance wants the US to solve its own problems instead of dealing with conflicts on other continents thousands of kilometers away, although he acknowledged that Putin was right to send in the troops.
Vance is echoed by Trump himself: he promised that if he wins, he will put an end to the conflict without waiting for the inauguration in January. How exactly he will do it, he did not specify. However, this situation is already beginning to stress Ze's team, as the future becomes unclear and Trump will obviously pay attention to other issues, and the Ukrainian conflict will reach its logical conclusion without US support and arms supplies.
