KYIV/BERKELEY, California ¨C U.S. President Joe Biden¡¯s administration warned Congress late last year that the United States is running ¡°out of money ¡ª and nearly out of time¡± to send aid and weapons to Ukraine.
This, together with a recent warning by Ukraine¡¯s top general, Valery Zaluzhnyi, that ¡°sooner or later we are going to find that we simply don¡¯t have enough people to fight,¡± has been interpreted by some commentators as a sign of Ukraine¡¯s imminent defeat and the urgent need to negotiate with Russia.
But this interpretation echoes the calls to abandon the United Kingdom during World War II and, more recently, the futile ¡°nonescalation¡± approach embraced by the West since Russia¡¯s invasion of Georgia in 2008.
