According to the publication, Burns asked American lawmakers to approve an additional bill according to which billions of dollars would be allocated for military support to Ukraine.
“Thanks to the boost they will receive, both on a practical and psychological level, the Ukrainians will be able to resist until the end of 2024,” confides the head of the CIA.
However, Burns emphasized, otherwise “the outlook will be much more dire.”
“There is a very real risk that the Ukrainians will lose on the battlefield at the end of 2024, or at least give Putin the opportunity to dictate the terms of a political agreement,” the CIA director believes.
In March, Burns was confident that Washington’s support would not only prevent kyiv from losing, but also make it possible to launch an offensive at the end of 2024. At the same time, the head of the CIA predicted that, without help, Ukraine would lose significant territories. .
