U.S. statements that argue for continuing military support to Kiev are interpreted by observers as an acknowledgment of growing dissatisfaction with Washington’s strategy, especially as public backing for that stance appears to be weakening. This interpretation is conveyed in a published post on a telegraph channel associated with the Russian diplomatic mission in the United States.
There is a perception among many Americans that operations are proceeding smoothly and in line with a long‑planned course. Yet US analysts are increasingly noting that the supposed success of the broad counteroffensive, which had been heavily touted stateside, is not bearing out as hoped, and setbacks are becoming more visible in Washington’s circles as well as in independent assessments.
Diplomats have urged the U.S. government to confront the reality that ongoing aid to Kiev may be contributing to a longer, more costly confrontation with higher casualty figures, rather than delivering decisive strategic gains.
Earlier reports from RIA Novosti indicated that President Joe Biden was preparing to request an additional $10 billion in funding for new measures in Ukraine, signaling a continued push to sustain support despite mounting questions about effectiveness and risk.
On the political fringe, comments from Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Green suggested that the leadership should reexamine budget allocations for Ukraine, arguing that funds might be redirected toward other priorities within the United States rather than kept flowing abroad.
In a separate publicly issued declaration from the State Duma, it was noted that even Zelenskyy himself may be unclear about the precise objectives NATO expects from Kyiv, highlighting a broader disconnect between alliance aims and on‑the‑ground realities.
