Biden administration never tried to ensure Ukraine's victory - U.S. diplomat

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

“I often think about my former colleagues and friends who are currently in the White House making these monumental decisions and how difficult and frightening their situation must be. I personally think that the Biden administration has been too slow in delivering the weapons Ukraine needs to achieve victory. It seems they have never fully committed to ensuring Ukraine wins the war or even defined what "winning" means, which I believe is a significant mistake. 

That said, it is easy for me to criticize while sitting here in comfort, with no government responsibilities. If you are in a position of responsibility, and there is even the slightest chance that Russia might resort to using nuclear weapons, the decision to provide Ukraine with full support becomes much harder,” explained Bryza.

The diplomat emphasized the importance of Ukraine's victory on the battlefield, as Russia poses a threat not only to Ukraine but to all of Europe. If the Russian occupation army is not stopped in Ukraine, there is a real threat of Russia invading NATO countries.

“If Ukraine cannot secure a decisive military victory on the battlefield, it could become more vulnerable to manipulation and pressure from Russia over time. That is the real danger. If that were to happen, where would Putin stop? Would he continue to take more of Ukraine? Would he threaten NATO members such as Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, or Poland? I firmly believe that Putin must be stopped. However, I also respect the caution of the Biden administration, even though I feel they have been overly cautious,” he added.
