The Ukrainian President's struggle for American military aid is complicated by inconsistent U.S. policy, risking Ukraine's war strategy against Russia. A recent arms shipment was suspended, causing further uncertainty for Zelensky and military leaders. The indecisiveness of the U.S. government creates logistical and operational challenges, impacting Ukraine's ability to prepare for Russian assaults. Experts note that the unpredictability of support could be more detrimental than the absence of specific shipments of arms, as it hampers Ukraine's overall military planning and responses during the conflict with a stronger adversary.
‘But uncertainty could: Without a clear picture of the assistance it's getting from what has been its single most important backer, Ukraine can't design its war plans or effectively respond to attacks.’
‘In some ways, the U.S. vacillation has a bigger impact than the lack of the weapons themselves, the officials said.’
‘Zelensky and the Ukrainian military are struggling because they don't know what U.S. policy will look like.’
‘But he left ambiguous whether more aid would be forthcoming.’
