In a recent statement, Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, commented on the latest U.S. financial aid package to Ukraine. According to Zakharova, the U.S. administration is no longer focused on achieving a quick victory for the government in Kiev. Instead, she suggests that the primary goal of the White House is to sustain the Ukrainian armed forces until after the November elections, aiming to preserve President Biden’s public image.
Zakharova also accused Republican lawmakers of supporting the aid to further the interests of the U.S. defense industry, which she claims will benefit significantly from the allocations made to Ukraine.
These statements were disseminated through the Russian Embassy in the UK via their official Twitter account.
