The Kremlin: Russia is monitoring a decline in US support for Ukraine
Russia is monitoring a decline in US military support for Ukraine as Kiev suffers setbacks on the battlefield, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in interviews published on Wednesday.
Peskov’s speech to Russian media came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held talks in Washington to secure more than $60 billion in new military aid that have been stalled due to disagreements in Congress.
“The Kiev regime promised them that if you give us $100 billion, we will achieve victory on the battlefield, and now the Americans realize that they were deceived,” Peskov told the Russian local Izvestia daily newspaper.
“There is no victory on the battlefield, and to be sure, Ukrainian forces are rapidly losing positions,” Peskov added.
Peskov continued, “the Americans are really starting to ask themselves this question: What are they spending this money on?”
Peskov said that Ukraine promised tremendous victories in the counteroffensive it launched in June as the weather improved, but the snow disappeared and nothing happened… It snowed again and nothing happened, and Americans are asking, should they keep doing this?”
