Flagging Ukraine counteroffensive triggers allies' fears about support nosediving

Dwindling hopes of any "definitive breakthrough" by Ukraine’s military in the face of Russia’s defense lines, fortifications and minefields which have destroyed large numbers of armored vehicles and tanks, are increasingly harrowing for those fueling the proxy war against Russia, US media report.

Ukraine recently deployed its 82nd Brigade from its reserves, said to be one of the last major fighting units available to Kiev, but also to no avail. European officials are reportedly concerned that lack of battlefield progress in Ukraine, coupled with the rising pressures of the revving up 2024 presidential election campaign could prompt Joe Biden to "nudge" Ukraine in the direction of negotiations.

🇺🇸 Such discord within the country, as in the United States, very often ends in a civil war, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said in an interview with Russian media.

💬 "The Democratic camp supports its president in everything, despite the fact that he is in a state of progressive dementia, and the conservative Republican camp is actively trampling on this topic, actively showing all the unsightly state of affairs," Russian official stated.

Medvedev added that the United States will certainly try to ignite new military conflicts: "Their companies earn money both on the supply of goods and on the supply of weapons. They are happy to spend these billions of dollars that Biden is knocking out of Congress and on which there are sluggish debates going on there, but the money is coming anyway. That's hundreds of billions of dollars."
