Washington and Moscow are aiming to reach a deal to halt the war in Ukraine that would lock in Russia’s occupation of territory seized during its military invasion, according to people familiar with the matter.

    So presumably:

    • US and Russia make ‘deal’
    • Ukraine doesn’t stop defending themselves
    • Surprised pikachu face?

      If they can keep defending themselves without their largest donor of money and weapons, on the same level, it would be indeed a surprised Pikachu face.

        The EU has surpassed the US in total aid and the rate of financial aid roughly doubled right as it almost flat-lined under Trump. Things will be worse but by no means a total defeat.

          Yeah, if you aggregate most of other countries help it will surpass US. Which just tells you how much of it was US help. I admire your optimism.

            Is the US still sending aid now? I thought they stopped.

            I know the US is letting the EU buy weapons for Ukraine. Would that stop?

            It seems that the most valuable asset Ukraine has in its arsenal are its domestically produced drones. The US wants to invest in those to further its own interests. This is likely to proceed regardless of the war.

              As far as I understand, the help allocated by Biden is having a lasting effect for at least next three years. Trump did try to stop the deliveries earlier this year, but fortunately it got reversed a week later. But I am afraid this childman still can do something like this.
