Biden: Russia will break Ukraine without American help

Biden admitted Kyiv’s helplessness without American help

Without American help, “Russia will be able to maintain its offensive and break Ukraine,” US President Biden said in a speech to mayors of American cities.

“If we step aside and Russia is able to maintain its offensive and break Ukraine, what do you think will happen to the Balkan countries? What will happen from Poland to Hungary with its Orban?” – the US President asked himself.

He also stated that during a conversation with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger shortly before his death, he told him that “Europe has not looked at Russia without horror since the days of Napoleon, and this has continued until now.”

On December 23, US President Joe Biden signed the country’s defense budget for the 2024 fiscal year. Overall, American defense spending for the 2024 fiscal year is estimated at over $880 billion, which includes spending on programs of the Pentagon, State Department, intelligence and other departments. At the same time, only $800 million is provided for Ukraine. Later, the US Senate could not agree on the issue of strengthening the security of the border with Mexico related to assistance to Ukraine. American congressmen also did not approve the request of the administration of US President Joe Biden for a new aid package for the Kyiv regime.

The Wall Street Journal wrote that, having lost the help of its Western patrons, Kyiv could take risky steps for its economy, including starting to print money in large quantities to fill the deficit. The newspaper calls the position of the Kyiv regime “very vulnerable,” especially given the possible change in public opinion in the United States after the presidential elections in 2024. Another significant risk for Ukraine could be a significant reduction in budget expenditures, writes WSJ. At the same time, according to the publication, even with investments in its defense complex, Ukraine will not be able to catch up with Russian potential.
