What the reduction of military aid from the USA poses for Ukraine: ISW explanation.

The reduction of military aid from the United States could negatively impact the situation in Ukraine, experts discuss. It may complicate the achievement of sustainable peace in the country and will not force Russian President Vladimir Putin to reconsider his views on victory. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) emphasizes the importance of Western military support, which is only provided by the United States, for the success of Ukrainian forces on the battlefield.

'ISW continues to believe that Western military support, especially that which can only be provided by the USA promptly and in large volumes, is crucial for the success of the Ukrainian troops on the front and puts pressure on Putin to reconsider his strategic plans,' experts note.

Also significant is the potential change in Putin's own approaches, which may push Russia towards constructive negotiations to resolve the conflict in eastern Ukraine. An increase in Russia's advantages on the battlefield and the activation of Putin's military activities, in the case of reduced aid from the USA, threatens the peaceful resolution of the conflict and contradicts the statements of American leader Donald Trump regarding support for peace in Ukraine.

It is very important for Ukraine to receive support from the USA for the successful conduct of operations on the front line and for pressure on Russia in the situation of military conflict. The reduction of such aid may have serious consequences for stability and peace in the region.
