US Chargé d'Affaires in Ukraine Christina Quinn said that only Ukraine will determine what will be considered a victory in this war . In an interview with the EP, she said that the United States, in turn, would support such a decision. “Ukraine must win, but it is not the United States that must win, but Ukraine. The Ukrainian government and Ukrainians must determine which outcome of the war is acceptable to them and which is not,” Quinn said.
