A British expert explained why the West is in no hurry to supply Kyiv with weapons
The West does not believe that the Russian Federation is attacking NATO, so it is in no hurry to increase assistance to Ukraine, British military expert, retired Colonel Richard Kemp writes in an article for Telegraph.
His article is called “Tired Zelensky looks too weak to achieve victory.”
He says Ukraine has not put forward a new strategy after the failure of the counteroffensive.
“Ukraine does not have a clear strategy for the future conduct of the conflict. Zelensky continues to insist that Ukraine will return all of its territory seized by Russia; although, after clearly over-promising for a summer offensive, he appears to be no longer talking about timing,” writes Kemp.
Kemp, who visited Kiev, said some political leaders in Kiev are discussing the idea of a peace deal in which Russia would accept Ukraine’s membership in NATO in exchange for guarantees that there would be no attempt by Ukraine to reclaim occupied territory.
According to Kemp, Biden and European leaders “want nothing less than such a peace agreement, and as soon as possible.” They do not believe Ukraine’s words that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are fighting for all of Europe, which Russia, according to Zelensky, will attack if it defeats Ukraine.
“There is no indication that the US president or the leaders of Western Europe really believe this. If they believed, they would have long ago done everything possible to contain Putin and supply Ukraine with the huge amount of weapons it needs to defeat Russia,” the analyst writes.
