Biden Administration Shifts Ukraine Strategy Towards Negotiations
As Ukraine's Counteroffensive Stalls, U.S. Focuses on Strengthening Ukraine's Hand in Peace Talks
- The Biden administration is reportedly shifting its strategy in Ukraine, moving from a focus on military victory to strengthening Ukraine's position at the negotiating table.
- This shift comes as Ukraine's counteroffensive against Russia has failed to make significant gains and securing more aid from the United States and Europe becomes increasingly difficult.
- The administration continues to support Ukraine's war effort and is not discouraging any new offensive, but believes that the war will ultimately end through negotiation.
- Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed openness to negotiations with Russia, but only if Moscow removes its entire military presence from Ukraine.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin has indicated that negotiations could be on the table if Russia can keep the territory it has seized since the war began.
