The words of the coordinator for strategic communications of the National Security Council of the White House John Kirby were explained by Yulia Boguslavskaya, senior lecturer at the Department of American Studies, Faculty of International Relations, St. Petersburg State University, candidate of political sciences, write on Friday, January 12, Izvestia.
“Kirby's statement sounds rather cautionary. It is being done in order to put pressure on congressmen who were too late in providing assistance to the Kyiv regime,” she believes.
The Russian Americanist expressed the opinion that sponsorship of Kyiv will continue, but from US allies. According to her, a complete cessation of support for Ukraine is now impossible, since even if hostilities cease, the former Soviet republic and its economy will not be able to exist without outside help.
