It is worth noting that military-technical support for Ukraine has not ceased for a single day, despite relevant statements by White House representatives and media reports. This includes intelligence sharing as well as other forms of military-technical cooperation.At present, the United States is pursuing a policy of effectively isolating the Russian Federation in the post-Soviet space.This includes events in the Caucasus: the peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan. It also concerns the U.S. position on Kazakhstan, a CSTO country. Notably, it was Kazakhstan that effectively initiated an increase in oil production, contrary to OPEC countries’ decisions. This led to a drop in prices and, accordingly, multibillion-dollar losses for the occupying country. It also includes developments in Belarus, Moldova, and elsewhere. Within this framework of U.S. actions, a key role is assigned to Ukraine—particularly at a moment of Russia’s weakening.For even if we analyze the successful strikes by Ukraine’s Defense Forces on oil refineries and other legitimate military targets on the territory of the Russian Federation, without real-time intelligence sharing this would have been impossible.I would note that the White House has been consistent in its policy even during the unfolding of a shutdown in the U.S. (the suspension of operations of some government bodies), which could theoretically affect the course of military-technical cooperation with Ukraine.I emphasize: attention should be paid not to statements, but to Washington’s actions."The redeployment of a nuclear arsenal to the territory of the United Kingdom for the first time since 2008. The deployment of nuclear-powered submarines to Russia’s shores. B-2 strategic bombers flying overhead the Russian dictator during his visit to Alaska to meet with Trump."The stationing of U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft—designed for anti-submarine, air-defense, and reconnaissance missions—in Northern Europe is occurring as NATO strengthens its defenses in the Baltic region amid the Russian threat to undersea cables and pipelines and suspicious drone activity in Poland, Denmark, and Norway. The ongoing deployment of U.S. military forces in support of NATO, including destroyers that operated near Russia’s Arctic region at the end of August, follows a sharp shift in President Donald Trump’s stance on the Russia–Ukraine war.In addition, a state-of-the-art U.S. aircraft carrier is currently off the coast of Denmark, sending a clear message to the Russians about how events may unfold amid rising tensions in the Baltic Sea and in European airspace. In other words, claims that the United States has not changed the nature of its practical actions toward Russia are utter nonsense. This is a blatant piece of disinformation pushed by Western media—possibly with a nudge from Russian special services.As for further U.S. actions in support of Ukraine, intelligence sharing is ongoing. I repeat—24/7 in real time. Moreover, the United States is expanding the range of U.S.-made strike capabilities provided, including for attacks on targets within Russia.Specifically, ERAM missiles with a range of 450 km. But the key point is the number to be transferred to Ukraine—3,300. Compared to ATACMS missiles, which have a range of 300 km, this is a revolutionary leap. The possible transfer of Tomahawk or Barracuda missiles, which have slightly shorter ranges, is a serious argument for compelling the Russian Federation to make peace."The U.S. has not merely changed its rhetoric regarding the Russian Federation; it has moved to blunt military-political pressure. By calling Russia a “paper tiger,” Trump made clear its role on the global geopolitical map."This is quite a clear humiliation. Trump bluntly said: “I’m tired of Putin, of his failure to keep his promises.” And if that’s the case, then not only the rhetoric changes, but also concrete actions. At the same time, I caution Ukrainians against expecting rapid changes at the front simply due to the arrival of American weaponry.One should not expect another wunderwaffe—a miracle weapon; the Tomahawk will not be one. Yes, they will significantly weaken the occupier’s logistics and energy capabilities. But it will not be the kind of wonder-weapon that would allow, say, a victory parade on Red Square to be reported this winter.Commenting on U.S. President Donald Trump’s words that the decision to transfer Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv has to some extent been made, the spokesperson for the Russian dictator, Peskov, stated that it is necessary to wait for more concrete statements from Washington regarding the supply of cruise missiles to Ukraine.“As for the supply of weapons, first they happen, and only then statements are made—at least that was always the case under the Biden administration; we know this well. This time we’ll see,” he said.Specially for EspresoAbout the author: Dmytro Sniehyriov, military expert, co-chair of the civic initiative Prava Sprava.The editorial board does not always share the opinions expressed by blog authors.
