File photoWASHINGTON, Jul 10The New York Times believes that the US and its allies are unlikely to be able to maintain the current level of support for Ukraine for a long time.» President Biden has promised to support Ukraine «for as long as it takes,» but neither he nor anyone else can say How long will this last, or how much more can the US and its allies do from that distance short of direct military intervention Officials admit that US and European stockpiles of weapons will run out at some point, even though the US has authorized military and other assistance for 54 billion dollars, no one expects another $54 billion check when these run out,» the newspaper writes. As the newspaper notes, officials and analysts said it would be difficult to conflict on both sides of the Atlantic. The newspaper adds that the congressional-approved military aid is expected to last until the second quarter of next year, according to some estimates, but «the question is how long the current arms and ammunition transfers can continue without degrading US military readiness.» Russia had previously sent countries NATO note because of the supply of weapons to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that any cargo that contains weapons for Ukraine will become a legitimate target for Russia. The Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation stated that the NATO countries are «playing with fire» by supplying weapons to Ukraine. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov noted that pumping Ukraine with weapons from the West does not contribute to the success of Russian-Ukrainian negotiations and will have a negative effect. Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on February 24. President Vladimir Putin called its goal «the protection of people who have been subjected to genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years.» According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, as of March 25, the Armed Forces completed the main tasks of the first stage — they significantly reduced the combat potential of Ukraine. The main goal in the Russian military department was called the liberation of Donbass.
