Biden’s team fears the aftermath of a failed Ukrainian counteroffensive

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:41:45 GMT

The Biden administration is quietly preparing for the possibility that if Ukraine’s spring counteroffensive falls short of expectations, critics at home and allies abroad will argue that America has come up short, too.Ukraine’s ever-imminent counteroffensive will attempt to retake Russian-seized territory most likely in the east and south, though for operational reasons no senior officials from Kyiv have detailed specifics.Publicly, President Joe Biden’s team has offered unwavering support for Ukraine, pledging to load it up with weapons and economic aid for “as long as it takes.” But, if the impending fighting season yields limited gains, administration officials have expressed privately they fear being faced with a two-headed monster attacking it from the hawkish and dovish ends of the spectrum.One side will say that Ukraine’s advances would’ve worked had the administration given Kyiv everything it asked for, namely longer-range missiles, fighter jets and more air defenses.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:41:45 GMT

The United Nations’ World Food Programme (WFP) “stands ready” to help the EU clear a glut of Ukrainian grain disrupting markets in Eastern Europe and deliver it to countries that need it most, Martin Frick, director of the WFP Global Offices in Brussels and Berlin, told POLITICO.Officials from the European Commission met with representatives from five Eastern European countries on Sunday to discuss proposals to address a vast influx of Ukrainian grain and other food products after four of them — Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Bulgaria — imposed import bans. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and blockade of its Black Sea ports left Ukrainian grain exports stuck inside the country, driving up global prices and pushing countries in the Global South reliant on Ukrainian grain toward hunger.
