U.S. President Joe Biden after his White House Statement on UkraineMOSCOW, May 2. U.S. President Joe Biden has come under pressure both from voters who do not want to see Washington drawn into the Ukrainian conflict, and from European partners who expect America to provide more serious assistance to Kyiv, an associate professor at Renmin University of China told Global Times Diao Daming. «On the one hand, Biden faced internal economic pressure, he is deceiving voters that the United States will not enter into the Ukrainian conflict. On the other hand, the White House is forced to express great support for Ukraine, as American allies want it,» the specialist explained .
Americans angered by Biden's decision on UkraineThe flow of American «aid» to Ukraine is an attempt to fan the crisis and close the space for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, stressed he. Last week, Biden announced that he had submitted a request to Congress for an additional $33 billion in funding for «unprecedented assistance» to Ukraine in the areas of defense, security, and humanitarian support. Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine on February 24. President Vladimir Putin called its goal «the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years.» For this, according to him, it is planned to carry out «demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine», to bring to justice all war criminals responsible for «bloody crimes against civilians» in Donbass. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the armed forces are only targeting military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops.
