Strategy for Russian exhaustion: As "renewed" military assistance from the US will change the situation at the front

To spread: The latest statements about the suspension of US military aid have been alarming in society: does it mean this change in Washington's course? But in a few days it became clear: it is not about refusal, but about changing support mechanisms. The focus understood what is actually happening with the supply of weapons, what role the US and their allies play in this, and what it means for the future war.

Last week, the Pentagon temporarily stopped the supply of weapons to Ukraine, including Patriot Air Defense, 155mm artillery shells, GMLRS and Hellfire missiles, arguing with the need to check the US military reserves. However, on Monday, July 7, Donald Trump announced the restoration of assistance at the White House's presents: "We will send more weapons - they have to defend ourselves," - said deliveries that will include, first and foremost, defensive systems.

According to the Pentagon Sean Parnella's Pentagon, such additional supplies are made "at the instructions of the President" and are aimed at strengthening Ukraine's defense capability with the framework "American First". This decision was made after Trump's telephone conversation with President Zelensky, which, on the Ukrainian side, has become the most effective since the beginning of the year.

Kiev has already appealed to Washington with a request for "stability, predictability and public clarity" on weapons, especially in air defense issues. Trump said: "mostly defense weapons", but did not rule out that the new package will include Patriot systems needed to increase the capabilities of Air Defense of Ukraine.

Recent publications in the Western media for the alleged termination of military assistance to Ukraine have become the subject of a large-scale information and psychological operation aimed at both Ukrainian society and Western allies. Analysts point out that it was planned on "anonymous sources" and is dedicated to the negotiations between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

The military analyst Dmitry Snegirev emphasizes in conversation with focus, the so-called "suspension" of US assistance has already been denied-both the fact of supply of air defense, Patriot missiles and F-16 fighters, and the statements of Trump himself. Following the conversation with the Zelensky US, the re -export processes of weapons from NATO countries intensified.

It is about the transfer of weapons of American production, which was stored in the warehouses of NATO countries - just what was not allowed by Biden's administration. According to Snegirev, this opens the gateways with a large -scale supply: "This is the answer to all" experts "who criticize the United States for allegedly insufficient support. In fact, after Putin's call, Trump of the Allied hands launches a new wave on the fan, "says the expert.

According to Snegirev, the US policy is now based on the principle of pressure on Russia due to defense weapons. Even without direct blows - oil is cheaper, tankers are undermined, the Russian budget is cracking (a deficit of $ 55 billion). on the exhaustion of the enemy. Trump is publicly distant, but re -export allows you to bypass weapons - and faster. Formally-"neutrality", in fact-a rigid diplomatic pressure that repeats the USSR strategy in the 1980s, "-explains the focus of the expert.

Today's strengthening of weapons is not a" change of thought "Trump, expert, but a thoughtful multi-way, where the main goal is to force. In parallel, the supply of weapons from Iran, under the pressure of Israel and the US. The next day after 500 drones - only 60. And so on, " - continues the expert. After a telephone conversation between Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky, the question of stopping the supply of weapons has shifted from a dead point.

According to military expert Oleg Zhdanov, it is about the purchase of US weapons. Previous years. Therefore, even skeptical countries are forced to support Kyiv - both financially and politically. Direct contracts between the Ukrainian side, pentagon or producers will now play a decisive role. Priority includes air defense systems and mobile firing groups. The rate - on modern thermal imaging and radar sights, which will allow to effectively fight "Shahmed", - says Focus Zhdanov.

Currently, the fate of the PDA program, the US Presidential Initiative, which allowed Ukraine to transfer excess weapons at a symbolic price, remains the question. Earlier, half of all the aid came through this channel. Recall that Politico wrote about the restoration of US military assistance to Ukraine after the President's Special Representative Meeting of the US Kelloga and Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.
