Ukraine

The slow march to disaster. Early on the US said no M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine and then in January of 2023 they sent tanks. May 24, 2023. The United States has long asked Ukraine not to use US provided military equipment to carry out attacks inside Russian territory. February 19, 2024. If Republicans continue to block US military aid to Ukraine, Biden could turn to an ally to provide Kyiv with ATACM missiles capable of striking Russian held Crimea. April, 12, 2023. Ukraine urged the US to send fighter jets. August 18, 2023. The US has approved sending F16 jets to Ukraine from Denmark to defend against Russians. Most recently France's President Macron said, "no consensus" on sending ground troops to Ukraine in an "official manner," but that "nothing was excluded." Ukraine is running out of supplies and running out of troops. Will the West be forced to send in troops as Macron says that option is not off the table. Biden has said no troops but he has changed his mind in the past. Does he view a loss in Ukraine as a black mark on his legacy.
