Details of ten-year US obligations on security guarantees to Ukraine have been revealed
It is reported that the new strategy will be radically different from plans for last year, when the United States and other countries sent military equipment to Ukraine in the hope of a successful counter-offensive. In 2024, the main task is to maintain existing positions.
“In addition, Western governments want Kyiv to focus on tactics in which its forces have had greater success recently - long-range fire, including with French cruise missiles promised to be delivered over the next few months; containment of the Russian Black Sea Fleet to protect maritime transit from Ukrainian ports; and tying up Russian forces inside Crimea with missile strikes and special operations sabotage,” the article says.
It is noted that the plan will be presented on the condition that Biden's request for additional funding for Ukraine in the amount of $61 billion is approved by Congress. According to the publication's sources, the adoption of long-term guarantees will help Ukraine receive US funding if Donald Trump wins the next presidential election.
Previously, Ukraine entered into a ten-year agreement on security guarantees with the UK. It is reported that the bilateral agreement will remain in force until Ukraine joins NATO .
