Summary
Ukrainian proposals for long-range missile capabilities were a focal point during discussions in Washington, where President Zelensky presented these plans as part of his broader ‘victory plan’ against Russian forces. However, the reception to these proposals was notably cooler than in previous visits, reflecting a growing skepticism within the U.S. administration regarding Ukraine’s prospects for reclaiming territory in Eastern Ukraine.
In the context of ongoing military operations, Ukraine successfully targeted a significant oil terminal in Crimea, underscoring the strategic importance of such capabilities. The strike on the terminal in Feodosia was framed by the Ukrainian military as a critical move to disrupt Russian military logistics and supply lines. Russian officials responded by cautioning the West against authorizing deeper strikes into Russian territory, suggesting that such actions could escalate the conflict further. This backdrop highlights the tension between Ukraine’s military objectives and the geopolitical considerations influencing U.S. support, as President Biden continues to allocate substantial resources to Ukraine despite the challenging realities on the ground.
