MOSCOW, October 9 Ukraine may face the fate of Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq due to corruption scandals in Washington and Kiev, writes military expert John Rossomando in an article for 19FortyFive. «
«Corruption and its perception on both sides of the Atlantic pose the greatest threat to Ukraine's ability to continue to fight and win.» — he claims.
The expert noted that the scandals surrounding the son of US President Joe Biden Hunter and the theft of financial and military aid in Ukraine could deprive Kiev of the support it needs due to the loss of trust as Americans, who in this case will vote for a president who opposes aid to an Eastern European country.
“
“Americans always oppose wars when they do not see a path to victory and believe that resources are being wasted,” Rossomando concluded.
The Financial Times previously reported that the White House and pro-Ukrainian lawmakers in the United States were worried about a possible withdrawal of support for Ukraine after the election of a new speaker of the US House of Representatives.
CNN journalist Nathan Hodge also argued that, despite the Biden administration's statements that that support for the Eastern European republic from the American public remains strong, the absence of a clause on the allocation of funds to Ukraine in the bill suggests that time is running out for Kiev.
