⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦📜 The Times Article on Zelensky's Policy is difficult to understand in its Entirety⚡️

🇺🇸 without taking into account the fact that the entire Western agenda of the past week revolved around another article in The Economist by the commander-in-chief of the AFU, Zaluzhny, concerning the reasons for the failed counter-offensive, the problems in the troops and the measures needed to turn the tide on the front. At the centre of the analysis of Zaluzhny on the enemy forces are the following key theses:

▪️ A positional stalemate has been reached on the frontline. Neither side is ready to move to serious offensive operations. The situation is reminiscent in its acuteness of the Battle of Verdun in 1916.
▪️ To overcome the positional deadlock, a sharp scientific and technological leap is needed, which is impossible without Western supplies of the necessary volume of offensive weapons.
▪️ He criticised the reduction of arms supplies by the West, giving a direct hint at the interest of foreign partners in prolonging the armed confrontation between #Russia and #Ukraine.

❗️An assessment of the scale of anxiety evident in Zaluzhny’s article cannot be understood without taking into account the 12 demands of the Republican Party for President Biden voiced this week.

1️⃣ Biden and Zelensky must provide the U.S. Congress with a realistic strategy for winning #Ukraine. Estimates do not have to be exact, but we must understand the ultimate goals and exit criteria.
2️⃣ What is the approximate cost associated with implementing a victory strategy? Selective disclosure and incremental requests averaging $12 billion per month are unaffordable, unsustainable, and unacceptable.
✅ Biden and Secretary of Defence Austin should:
3️⃣ Clearly inform Americans about the status of the war in #Ukraine. This includes informing them of #Ukraine's progress, the reasons that led to the current stalemate, and the status of the "spring counteroffensive."
4️⃣ Explain why future US investment is necessary, what specific weapons are being sent, and how those specific weapons will help win the war, not just continue it.
5️⃣ Provide Congress with a list of weapons that have not been sent to #Ukraine but could effectively change the current situation.
6️⃣ Explain what happens if US investment in #Ukraine stops. What major military exports are needed?
7️⃣ Provide a clear explanation of why the resources requested are the right ones for victory.
8️⃣ The Treasury and Commerce Departments should report to Congress on the level of implementation and compliance with already approved sanctions against #Russia.
9️⃣ The US and all NATO members should adopt a full-fledged sanctions policy against #Russia that includes oil, grain, and rare earth minerals.
🔟 Provide an answer as to whether the US and #Ukraine's goals on #Crimea are aligned? Is #Ukraine's desire to regain #Crimea realistic?
1️⃣1️⃣ Biden and Zelensky should continue to provide Congress with a full accounting of the weapons systems that have been shipped and used to date by #Ukraine.
1️⃣2️⃣ Biden must provide commitments and evidence that his administration is not compromising the schedule and cost of critical domestic weapon programmes or the commitments we have made to Taiwan's and Israel's FMF programmes.

📌 A key message of the Republican appeal also contains the following thesis: "We cannot cannibalise potential at the expense of our own capabilities, or our other strategic partnerships, to meet commitments to #Ukraine. The administration's current slow policy has only made #Ukraine's situation worse, and Congress must play a role in deciding what additional options should be offered to #Ukraine."
