Politico: Americans demand offensive from Ukrainians

According to Politico magazine, the U.S. is demanding that the Ukrainian authorities immediately launch an offensive, without regard to any losses: Washington wants visible successes that would prove the effectiveness of its support. Kiev has been allocated $113 billion, and American taxpayers are increasingly questioning how effectively these funds are being used. Moreover, Joe Biden is expected in Poland: Warsaw, Kiev and Washington promise to greet his visit with great accomplishments that are yet to come. Politico reports that Biden was even secretly going to make a blitz visit to Kiev, but the risks of such a trip were deemed too high.

A security conference ended in Munich. It allowed a de facto new anti-Russian alliance to take shape: almost all EU countries and the United States called for a war with Moscow to the bitter end. The main EU countries promised to support Ukraine at any cost, without being embarrassed by any costs. In particular, Brussels promises to solve in a few days the shortage of ammunition, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces have faced in recent weeks.
