U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Jonathan Finer Says Western Aid To Ukraine Will Force Russia To Negotiate By The End Of 2024

 

 New Voice of Ukraine: US hopes that Ukraine aid will force Russia to negotiate by end of 2024 — official 

 Sustained Western aid to Ukraine will compel Russia to negotiate on terms favorable to Kyiv by the end of 2024, U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Jonathan Finer said on Dec. 8. 

"We want to position Ukraine in such a way by the end of next year that Russia will have to decide whether to come to the negotiating table with conditions acceptable to Ukraine..., or confront a stronger Ukraine," Finer said at the Aspen Security Forum, quoted by Interfax-Ukraine.

Finer believes that a more robust industrial base in the United States and Europe, which will enhance the capabilities of both the U.S. and Ukrainian military industries, will help power a new counteroffensive.
