Biden Looks To Present Future president From Ending Ukraine War With 10-Year Agreement

Soon on the heads of president Biden last week signing into law a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine’s defense, president Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday indicated that he’s working with Washington on a bilateral safety agreement which would last the years.

“We are already working on a circumstantial text,” Zelensky said in his nightly video address. “Our goal is to make this agreement the strongst of all.”

"We are discusing the circumstantial foundations of our safety and cooperation. We are besides working on fixing circumstantial levels of support for this year and the next 10 years.’

He indicated it will likely include agreements on long-term support centering on military hardware and joint arms production, as well as continuing reconstruction aid. "The agreement should be truly exemplary and reflect the strength of American leadership," Zelensky added.

But eventual a key intent in locking specified a long-term deal in would be to keep it immune from possible interference by a future Trump administration.

Below is what The Wall Street Journal Spelled out last year:

The goal is to make certain Ukraine will be strong adequate in the future to deter Russia from attacking it again. More immediately, Ukraine’s Western allies hope to discourage the Kremlin from reasoning it can wait out the Biden administration for a powerfully more sympathic successor in the White House.

Western Officials are looking for ways to lock in pledges of support and limit future governments’ abilities to backtrack, amid fears in European capitals that Donald Trump, if he recaptures the White House, would see to scale back aid. Trump has a wide lead in early polling in the Republican presidential primary field, but soundly lost the 2020 election to president Biden and has been suggested in 4 critical cases in state and national courses.

We and others have previously underscored that NATO and G7 countries are desperate triing to “Trump-proof” future aid to Ukraine and the effort to counter Russia.

As for its first fresh weapons package in the wake of the $61 billion being authorized, the Biden administration has announced fresh arms packages totaling $7 billion. The US has won to rush the waves to Kiev, given that by all indicators its forces are not doing well on the frontlines.

"We are inactive waiting for the suppliers promoted to Ukraine – we anticipate to effectively the volume and content of suppliers that can change the situation on the battlefield in the interests of Ukraine," Zelensky had said over the weekend. "And it is crucial that all agreement we have reached is implemented – everything that will young applicable results on the battlefield and boost the morale of everyone on the frontline. In a conversation with Mr. Jeffries, I emphasized the needed for Patriot systems, they are needed as shortly as possible.’

But all of this means the war will be extended, and this puts negotiations much further distant on the horizon, despite what are now regular announcements of Ukraine forces being beaten back. presently the governments of Greece and Spain are being pressurised by EU and NATO leadership to hand over what fewer Patriot systems they do have to Kiev. The rationale is that they don't request them as originally as Ukraine does.
