“This war cannot be lost by Ukraine and by the West because the stakes are too high. It’s not about the survival of Ukraine, it’s about the survival of democratic values … Western values.” ~ Ukrainian army officer and political analyst, Taras Berezovets 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇸

#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost . . . With U.S. President Joe Biden officially out of the running for re-election, Ukrainian soldiers, experts, and advocates have fresh hope that the 81-year-old with decades of transatlantic diplomacy experience will increase support for the country during his final months in office.

“We will keep rallying a coalition of proud nations to stop Putin from taking over Ukraine and doing more damage,” Biden said from the White House in a July 24 address.

“We’ll keep NATO stronger, and I will make it more powerful and more united than any time in all of our history.”

Taras Berezovets, a Ukrainian army officer and political analyst, said he expects Biden to take more decisive, harsh action against Russia and President Vladimir Putin over the next few months, particularly with sanctions.

“He doesn’t need to think about a second presidential term,” Berezovets said, “and he can make some unpopular decisions in the international arena.”

“This war cannot be lost by Ukraine and by the West because the stakes are too high,” Berezovets said, adding: “It’s not about the survival of Ukraine, it’s about the survival of democratic values … Western values.”

“We are both absolutely clear — Ukraine must win this war. If Ukraine loses, we all lose.” ~ U.K. Foreign Secretary David Cameron and French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne 🇺🇦🇬🇧💙💛🇫🇷🇺🇦

#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost . . . U.K. Foreign Secretary David Cameron and French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne called on allies to increase support for Ukraine in The Telegraph’s article published on April 7.

Ukraine faces an ongoing ammunition shortage, with the country being in dire need of shells and missiles. Several European countries joined a Czech-led initiative to procure 800,000 sorely needed artillery shells for Ukraine.

Amid intensified Russian attacks against the energy infrastructure, President Volodymyr Zelensky pleaded for more weapons, saying Ukraine needs 25 Patriot air defense systems to protect the country.

Cameron and Sejourne said that the costs of failing to support Kyiv now would be “far greater than the costs of repelling (Russia’s President Vladimir) Putin.”

“We are both absolutely clear — Ukraine must win this war. If Ukraine loses, we all lose,” the officials wrote. They said that “we can rally others to join us in overcoming” and that the allies “must do even more to ensure we defeat Russia.”

Cameron is expected to visit the U.S. later this week to urge U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and other lawmakers to approve a package of military aid to Ukraine.
