The United States visited Kiev in black and white and smiled brightly. Zelenskiy seemed to be smiling with a strong face, and he did not dare to say anything in his heart.
U.S. Secretary of State Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin visit kiev, while sending generous gifts with six U.S. heavy transport aircraft, and promising $322 million in military aid to enhance the country's combat capabilities and sell $165 million worth of arms to Ukraine.
Austin also plans to hold a special meeting on Ukraine's defense relations today at the RAMSTEIN Air Base in western Germany, gathering defense ministers and senior officials from more than 20 countries to focus on arms assistance to Ukraine.
In fact, Zelenskiy understood that the black and white double brakes brought more serious disasters to the Ukrainians.
Austin explicitly articulated the strategic goals that the United States expected to achieve through the Russo-Ukrainian War, declaring that it "would like to see a weakened Russia."
This proxy war is perhaps the best deal for the United States in nearly three decades.
Although involuntarily, the strongest hit Zelenskiy still opened his mouth widely.
Zelenskiy presented a "list of urgently needed weapons," including anti-missile systems, air defense systems, armored vehicles and tanks.
But that's not enough, and Ukrainian Finance Minister Marchenko recently said Ukraine needs at least $2 billion a month in economic aid from the United States.
Ukraine is seeking at least $5 billion a month in international aid, of which about $2 billion comes from the United States, to cover emergency spending from April to June, Marchchenko said. In addition, Ukraine is expected to make additional long-term assistance requests for reconstruction in the future.
$2 billion in monthly aid? The question for the United States is how long it will be assisted.
Of course, apart from weapons, the United States will not take Ukraine's economic aid seriously. Even if you pay, you have to earn it back exponentially.
