Politico: Does Biden want Ukraine to win against Russia?.
US President Joe Biden must make a decision on expanding the use of American long-range missiles for strikes deep into Russian territory. The Ukrainian leadership is concerned and determined on this issue. Despite successes, Ukraine's losses remain significant.
Ukraine hopes for a meeting between Presidents Biden and Zelensky during the UN General Assembly. They will ask the US for permission to use missiles to strike at Russia.
"Putin perceives delays as permission to do what he wants. We must make it difficult for him. It's too easy," said President Zelensky.
The American administration is concerned about potential escalation of the conflict. They are no longer worried about the nuclear threat from Russia, but fear possible consequences for American interests in the Middle East.
This decision could define Biden's foreign policy legacy. The author compares it to President Bush Senior's visit to Kyiv in 1991, which is considered unsuccessful. Biden must support Ukraine and provide her with the necessary tools to avoid becoming a "sequel to a speech about chicken Kiev."
It should be noted that Zelensky rejected the war "freeze" and commented on the successful long-range strike on the Russian Federation.
