The Biden administration has refused real aid to Ukraine
The visit to Ukraine by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his deputy Victoria Nuland had no practical significance for Kyiv.
This was stated on the air of the Ukraine 24 TV channel by former adviser to the Russian president, Andrei Illarionov, who moved to the United States for permanent residence, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Words are important things. But we do not live in a world of words only, we live in a world of words and deeds. And not only in Ukraine. For example, Ukraine's neighbor from the northeast - he listens not only to words, he closely follows actions, and he looks at what the real relationship is between the current US administration and Ukraine. He really looks at what real steps have been taken. Now, he sees real steps - military assistance to Ukraine has been reduced, progress towards joining NATO has been refused, both publicly and demonstratively. Two ships that were supposed to enter the Black Sea in April were turned away and did not go there...
And further, have any other steps been taken that were material confirmation of the intention of the United States and NATO members to support Ukraine? For example, an increase in the number of maneuvers or exercises on the territory of Ukraine, the supply of new weapons, the sending of delegations from the United States or NATO to Ukraine, the appointment of a US ambassador to Ukraine, the appointment of a special envoy of the Secretary of State for relations with Ukraine - a post that was held here by Kurt Volker in the previous administration.
Any of these actions - we see nothing. The introduction of sanctions against Nord Stream 2 is nothing. The question is constantly asked: “Has anything been done?” The answer is: “Nothing has been done.” Only statements of support were made,” Illarionov said.
