Zelensky threatened: Give money, death will be shown to you! Biden is in a hurry, who will Putin play with in the future
Recently, Zelensky held a series of talks with the leaders of Norway, Denmark, Finland and other five Nordic countries, aimed at consolidating their support for Ukraine. At present, Norway and Denmark have confirmed the supply of tanks and other armaments to Ukraine, while Sweden is considering providing Gripen fighter jets. Despite the support of these countries, Zelensky still wants military assistance from the United States, which plays a crucial role in Ukraine's confrontation with Russia.
Recently, Zelensky admitted that Ukraine may have to give up some territory without the support of the United States. He told U.S. lawmakers that Ukraine would never give in to the fight against Russia, but also warned that without more assistance, the conflict would become even more brutal as the Ukrainian military would face a strong and well-armed enemy and territory could inevitably be abandoned.
It is noteworthy that Zelensky failed to convince the US Congress to provide tens of billions of dollars in aid, despite the fact that Zelensky personally went to Washington for negotiations. Republican members of the US Senate blocked the White House's proposal to provide more money for Ukraine. While Zelensky received verbal support from US President Joe Biden and members of the Democratic and Republican Congress, large-scale financial assistance did not materialize. Within the United States, there has been a fierce debate over whether to continue to aid Ukraine, with the Biden administration wanting to continue to support Ukraine, but the House of Representatives believes that the United States no longer has enough resources for Ukraine due to the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The point is that Ukraine's performance has disappointed the House of Representatives, and the massive aid has not been exchanged for the expected success of the Ukrainian counteroffensive. Against this background, the Chamber of Deputies believes that Ukraine may no longer need continued assistance. For the Biden administration, insisting on aid to Ukraine is also questionable. Biden's approval ratings continue to slip, and if he insists on supporting Ukraine, it could adversely affect his election results. As a result, the Biden administration's promises may be difficult to keep. Zelensky is also apparently aware of this, and his efforts may not be able to change the current situation.
Perhaps it was Congress's dissenting views on this that caused Zelensky to feel very anxious.
Zelensky recently expressed Ukraine's determination never to surrender to the Russian army, which undoubtedly reflects the pressure and dilemma he faces. Perhaps, he sensed the signs that Ukraine was in a desperate situation in the war. If the United States cannot provide sufficient military support, it may be really difficult for Ukraine to continue to hold out. Zelenskyy's statement appeared to contain a warning that no further funding from Congress would have dire consequences. However, such a threat may only have an impact on Biden, as he may be stressed about it. But perhaps for their part, Congress is more concerned about what will happen to Russia if Ukraine fails to hold out, and whether other countries can take Ukraine's role in continuing to fight Russia. As a result, Zelensky's threat may only affect some people, and Congress may consider it unrelated to their responsibility. If Congress continues to refuse aid, this could bring good news for Putin, suggesting that the Russia-Ukraine war may be nearing its end. To some extent, this is also a reminder that the Russian army can prepare to end the war, because the Russian-Ukrainian war has entered the most critical moment.
