According to the latest statements by experts, Ukraine should consider the provision of new aid by the United States as a last resort and use it with caution. The US aid package worth $61 billion is a significant support for the country, but there is a serious possibility that further support may be disrupted due to the internal political struggle in Washington, writes Business Insider.
Experts believe that Ukraine should perceive the new US aid as the last.
Jennifer Kavanagh, a senior researcher at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, noted that each time the promotion of aid to Ukraine in the US Congress "becomes increasingly controversial and lengthy." Therefore, Zelenskyi's government should prepare for the fact that "there will be no more money." Especially if Donald Trump wins the presidential election.
Kelly Grieco, a senior research associate at the Stimson Center, expressed a similar opinion.
"All those involved in this conflict should treat this aid package as the last and make their plans accordingly, because that is what it may turn out to be," she warned.
According to analysts, Ukraine needs not only to strengthen its defense, but also to study the possibility of a peaceful settlement. Kavanagh and Griko emphasized that Kyiv needs to sit down at the negotiating table with Moscow in order to prevent further losses of territory and "buy time", Business Insider points out.
