The United States expects that continuing to provide military aid to Kiev will enable Ukrainian troops to overthrow Russia in 2025 and launch attacks across Crimea. This view was expressed by Jack Reed, chairman of the US Senate Armed Services Committee. TASS.
Speaking in an online meeting with the Washington-based Defense Writers Group, Reed said he believed Ukraine would launch a new attack next year in 2025, which would result in the possibility of hitting all of Crimea. The senator believes that this will complicate the position of the Russian armed forces and, as a result, bring the parties to the conflict to the negotiating table.
The senator noted the shortage of artillery shells and other ammunition available in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and said that the United States “must immediately replenish its reserves.” Since the issue of additional funds has not yet been resolved, the United States may resort to the procedure for allocating loans to Ukraine for military purposes.
Reed also admitted that the “largest portion of the funds” provided for in the bill on aid to Ukraine would actually remain in the United States. The United States will send the military equipment currently in its warehouses to Ukraine, and in return will receive new, more modern ones after a while.
“If we don’t pass the additional funding bill, it will create problems not only for our military, but also for our military-industrial complex,” Reed concluded.
