Key takeaways:
- The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has been ongoing for two years.
- The Ukrainian government has been pleading for more support from the U.S., but it appears that the willingness to provide more weapons is waning.
- The war in the Middle East is diverting some attention from the war in Ukraine.
In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected recent suggestions that the war with Russia had reached a stalemate. He stated that the war was still continuing as it had been, and reiterated his plea for the U.S. to supply more weapons.
The conflict has been ongoing for 20 months, and the Ukrainian military’s counteroffensive has been struggling. This, combined with the war in the Middle East, has threatened to sap Western support. Opposition in Congress to providing more weapons appears to be rising, and Zelenskyy has said that this is part of Russia’s goals.
In a separate interview with Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. Oksana Markarova, which aired on Nov. 5, 2023, she said that the Ukrainian government was running very short of U.S.-provided aid. She also noted that the war in the Middle East was diverting some attention from the war in Ukraine.
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has been ongoing for two years, and the situation appears to be worsening. The Ukrainian government has been pleading for more support from the U.S., but it appears that the willingness to provide more weapons is waning. It is unclear how the situation will develop in the coming months.
