This trip signals a shift for the U.S., as the Biden administration will no longer be wary of arming Ukraine to turn back Russia's invasion. (via latimesopinion)
Biden’s visit to Kyiv gives me hope for three reasons. First, it recognizes the spirited resilience of the Ukrainian people in the face of war. And it gives this resilience a boost.
While in Kyiv, by the “wall of remembrance” dedicated to Ukraine’s fallen defenders, I am sure Biden got a stronger sense of this resilience and a deeper understanding of why Zelensky rejected his offer of safe passage out of Ukraine in the days before Russia’s looming invasion. Biden’s trip sends a loud and clear message to Moscow that he will more strongly support Zelensky’s request made back then: “Give me ammunition, not a ride.
This war is a continuation of Russia’s 2014 militarized occupation of the Crimea and parts of Eastern Ukraine. At that time and up to the fall of 2021, the international community discounted the threat of a widespread Russian invasion of Ukraine. The idea of providing Ukraine with heavy artillery, tanks, air defense systems, aircraft and other serious capabilities was deemed too risky, potentially even provoking Russia into a mass invasion.
The rising hope for an end to the war must still be tempered by the harsh reality still playing out in Ukraine. Lives continue to be lost. Cities destroyed. Russia has doubled down, sending in waves of reinforcements. U.S. leaders still seem to entertain illusions that if we sanction a few more Russian banks or oligarchs, the economic effects will decrease the need for military aid. Meanwhile, China and India keep buying more Russian oil, financing Putin’s war.
