    …because they seek to help the country build its own military-industrial base.

    Clickbait headlines are infuriating.

        The US is cutting its losses and moving on it seems. They aren’t going to even try the Afghanistan or Vietnam approach of propping up a puppet regime. Though there’s a lot of crazy people in the US government, I can see them repeating the same mistakes but expecting a different outcome.

    Before you all comment: read the article. It’s not that long.

    Ukrainian Pravda lays out information in an extremely clear and concise way. This is the news, this is why, and this is the quote. That’s it. One sentence each. It’s very to-the-point.

    That being said, the headline is misleading rubbish. The US isn’t abandoning Ukraine, it wants Ukraine to be able to defend itself without needing to rely on American aid.

    State Department spokesman Matthew Miller:

    “We will continue to support Ukraine… As long as it takes. That does not mean that we are going to continue to support them at the same level of military funding that we did in 2022 and 2023.” -Miller

    “But we are not there yet, and that is why it is so critical that Congress pass the supplemental funding bill, because we are not yet at the point where Ukraine can defend itself just based on its own,” -Miller
