Congress came up with the votes needed to pass a foreign aid military package and send it to Joe Biden’s desk. This foreign aid package benefits Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Biden declared his intent to make this aid available within hours. He also reiterated his strong support for Israel, describing it as “ironclad.” He also expressed the need for Israel to get the humanitarian aid to Gaza.<\/p>\n

Military analysts are not predicting major changes on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine. Despite ongoing fighting, both sides are dug in and the lines have moved little in the past 18 months.<\/p>\n

Ukraine’s main goal will likely be to stabilize conditions in this region.<\/p>\n

The weapons being supplied by the U.S., and also by European countries, could improve Ukraine’s prospects in the south, particularly the Crimean Peninsula and the Black Sea, according to Herbst.<\/p>\n

“Putin has a real vulnerability in Crimea and southern Ukraine,” he said. “He needs to keep his troops supplied there. Ukraine can make that supply route much less efficient and thereby hinder Russian military operations.”<\/p>\n

Ukraine launched a major offensive in eastern and southern Ukraine last summer to much fanfare, but managed only modest gains, far short of expectations.<\/p>\n

Herbst said the inflow of U.S. weapons now is not likely to determine the outcome of the war. He sees no realistic prospect of a resolution — on the battlefield or through negotiations — in the near term.<\/p>\n

But he said the U.S. support sends a strong signal and will give Ukraine the resources to keep fighting this year and beyond.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
