Strengthening Ukraine's support for border levels has been driven by the incredible resilience of Ukrainians on the battlefield.
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken told European allies that the United States The states believe that Russia's war against Ukraine could last until the end of 2022. This was stated by two European officials to CNN, as US and European officials are increasingly saying that the end of the war is not in sight in the near future.
Many CNN officials said it was difficult to predict exactly how long the war would last. Some officials have said there is no indication that Russian President Vladimir Putin's goals have changed, and it is unlikely he will seek diplomatic channels unless he faces significant military defeat.
The very idea that this could be a long-term conflict shows how much the perception of this war has changed since its early days, when Russia was expected to quickly capture the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, and underscores Moscow's failures on the battlefield.
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan says the fighting will continue “for months or even longer”, while two other European officials have said they believe the fighting in eastern Ukraine could last four to six months and then lead to to a stalemate.
Anthony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, said he had “discussed with his colleagues the concern that the conflict could drag on. But all discussions have revolved around options for how best and quickest to end the war. ”
U.S. officials see additional military support for Ukraine this week as a continuation of ongoing programs. But they point out that it was the desire to double the perseverance and additional support – the efforts of Ukrainians on the battlefield.
Another senior State Department official said, “We have done a lot, so we really believe and have always believed in our Ukrainian partners. But as the pressure on the battlefield grows, so does our commitment to handing over weapons and equipment for use, “he said, adding that Ukrainians used certain weapons systems” with great effect. “
