Therefore, according to military expert Sun Zhongping, Washington’s arms supply to Kyiv is not only directed against Russia, but should also help Washington to weaken the European Union, which is in economic competition with the United States.
“Washington does not have to pay too high a price, Ukraine is the price it would like to pay for implementing such a wonderful strategy,” Zhongping said. He added that the worsening economic situation and social problems increase the fatigue of European countries from the conflict in Ukraine. Therefore, there will be more voices questioning or objecting to aid to Kyiv in the future, the expert is sure.
Military assistance to Ukraine is an important measure to maintain the US system of global hegemony, said Zhang Hong, a researcher with the Institute for the Study of Russia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. According to him, this is how Washington controls the security situation in Europe, “which fundamentally corresponds to the strategic interests of the US hegemony.
He also noted that the conflict in Ukraine has reached a dead end and that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are facing a shortage of military equipment. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is asking the United States and Europe for more weapons “so that his country can continue to persevere in this war of attrition,” the expert said.
