For poorcels:
The idea now is to position Ukraine to hold its position on the battlefield for now, but “put them on a different trajectory to be much stronger by the end of 2024 … and get them on a more sustainable path,” said the senior official, one of several who described the internal policymaking on the condition of anonymity.
That's quite impossible, Ukraine economy can't feed it self
The U.S. planning is part of a multilateral effort by nearly three dozen countries backing Ukraine to pledge long-term security and economic support — both out of necessity, given the disappointing results of last year's counteroffensive and the conviction that a similar effort this year would likely bring the same outcome, and as a demonstration of enduring resolve to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Giving Ukraine less show strong endurance to Putin
Each is preparing a document outlining its specific commitments spanning up to a decade in the future. Britain made its 10-year agreement with Ukraine public last week, signed by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv. It outlined contributions to “Maritime Security, Air, Air Defense, Artillery and Armor” as well as fiscal support and access to its financial sector. France is expected to be next, with an upcoming visit to Ukraine by President Emmanuel Macron.
Ukraine wont last a decade, somehow people love to forget that Ukraine population ain't thirds world. Every year will bring to them less new boys. In a decade kids that were 6 in 2022 will be forced to join the army and most of them are out of the country now.
But the success of the strategy depends almost entirely on the United States, by far Ukraine's largest donor of money and equipment, and coordinator of the multilateral effort. This spring the administration hopes to release its own 10-year commitment, now being compiled by the State Department with the blessing of the White House — assuming that President Biden's $61 billion request for supplemental Ukraine funding is approved by a recalcitrant Congress.
No US president going to sign giving Ukraine 61 billion every year for a decade
“Definitely the leadership and the engagement of the U.S. in the long term, but also in this very important phase, is paramount,” a senior European official said. “The supplemental is a must-have to continue ... not only on the ground, but as a show of Western resolve ... to make [Putin] understand that he will not win.”
The west failed their main goal to help Ukraine liberate all its territory and west is now exactly where China wants west to be. Can't help Ukraine win and can't let Ukraine lose and every year cost of supporting Ukraine increases.
Ironically this plan is even more stupid because hoping to reform Ukraine is just fantasy. This conflict can now only end if Russia gets more than it holds. In other cases it will be grinding Ukraine and improving Russian hands.
Also Russia has now been capturing shit in Kharkiv region
