At the forefront of aid to Ukraine, of course, the United States in the person of Secretary of Defense General Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, so to speak, hawks.
But there are pigeons representing US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, a supporter of soft influence over Russia.
In general, Washington describes its long-term goal in the Ukrainian-Russian war as weakening Russia to a level that guarantees its complete inability to develop aggression against Ukraine. But in reality it is much broader than outlined by officials. And here we should mention the so-called deep state, “deep state”.
Recently published TheHill A letter from 36 leading American experts was published to study the further actions of the United States and its group in these troops.

First about the group itself: generals F. Breedlove, W. Clark, M. Hertling, B. Hodges, diplomats P. Dobryansky, E. Farker, philosopher F. Fukuyama, former ambassadors in Kiev and Moscow D. Herbst, S. Pifer, M. McFaul. Yes, they are all the same, but figures of this level have never been completely the same. I would like to point out Mark Hodges and Ben Hodges, who are considered to be the leading military strategies in the United States today, and Mr. Clark, among others, is in line with the Defense Strategy Center, a military expert who is honored and pleased to be with me.
This group of 36 people signed a letter published in The Hill, the general meaning of which can be outlined by several theses:
– Putin encroached on the global world order;
– Russia’s victory will mean the collapse of the global world order;
– the defeat of Ukraine will mean a revision of the geostrategic heritage of the Second World War;
– The West must prevent the collapse of the world order and contribute to the failure of Russian aggression;
– Ukraine must drive the occupiers out of our sovereign territory.

This algorithm is the basis for the formation of US positions. It should be noted that the opinion of the expert community in the West is important, it is customary to take into account officials.
Illustration: The group itself asked for Sullivan’s “dove” to talk, after which the US presidential aide disappeared from public view for a couple of months, along with soft rhetoric to appease the Kremlin aggressor.
This view is also heard in European politics. An interesting conversation took place in one of the podcasts, a transcript of which was published in financialHours. In a conversation with FT Rula Khalaf (through an interpreter), the President of Ukraine, Mr. Zelensky, formulated a good message: Ukraine does not need NATO soldiers, we need weapons. This month is felt. The President also drew attention to the inadmissibility of discussing any options for fire without Kyiv’s participation.

Our allies have drawn several conclusions:
– the conflict clearly shows who is the aggressor (Russia) and who is the victim of aggression (Ukraine);
– Ukraine must win on the battlefield, and not in any other way;
– The West should beware of any attempts to persuade Ukraine to conclude a peace agreement with Russia in accordance with territorial procedures. The basis of the peace treaty is the military victory of Ukraine;
– The West, in particular, should contribute to Ukraine in its achievements;
– Ukraine needs long-range strikes, anti-ship missiles and the latest air defense systems to achieve victory;
– Ukraine needs economic support;
– Russia copes well with economic sanctions, has significant financial resources, so in addition to purely economic levers of influence should be deprived of Moscow’s source of income;
– Russia has encroached on the freedom of navigation, which must be opened, and the situation is corrected. An effective way to learn how to conduct NATO naval operations in the Black Sea to restore freedom of navigation. To study the possibility of escorting caravans of merchant ships by NATO warships from Odessa to the Turkish Straits and to start this operation;
– The West moved behind the Russian Federation throughout the war. It’s time to take the initiative and impose favorable rules on the game.

If we do not touch on Rammstein-3, which will take place soon, we should pay attention to the next NATO session in Madrid. Mr. Austin is going there and, believe it or not DailyBeastthen his portfolio includes the following theses:
– ensuring the unity of NATO in combating Russian aggression in Ukraine. An excellent indicator here will be Olaf Scholz, Chancellor of Germany, if his behavior in support of change in Ukraine, we believe that the US Secretary of Defense did not visit Spain in vain;
– blocking any attempts to reach an agreement with Putin;
– providing assistance to Ukraine as if tomorrow will not come;
– give Ukraine more weapons than it asks for;
– NATO has a solution for the unfavorable development of the situation, it is the insurgent movement in Ukraine that will be supported. The movement that will not lay down its arms under any circumstances and will attack the victory should be chosen;
– Sanctions work, but there are holes through which Russia acts, and these holes should be tightly closed. We are talking about Georgia and Kazakhstan. Re-exports must be stopped.
If anyone has not heard, the Chernihiv Cossack community of St. Catherine’s Church decided to consecrate Boris Johnson as a Cossack, gave him the rank of Cossack and the Cossack name of Boris Chuprin, and sent a letter to London certifying this.

Wallace, the Minister of Defense of the Government of Mr. Johnson, a young Cossack from the Chernihiv region, sent a party of MLRS from the British arsenals to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, saying: These high-capacity multiple rocket launchers will allow our Ukrainian friends to better protect themselves from the brutal use of long-range artillery, which Putin’s forces indiscriminately used to destroy the city. “
This turning point came, we were finally believed, providing powerful long-range high-tech weapons systems without any reservations. We, Ukraine, are without any reservations recognized as a common side of the world.
I can assume that the next step in military support will be to provide Ukraine with sophisticated computer systems for information support of the single combat space and the corresponding weapons that are projected to be integrated into it.
