Group calls on Biden administration to step up pace or run the risk of ‘unintentionally seizing defeat from the jaws of victory’
“Out of an over-abundance of caution about provoking Russian escalation , we are in effect ceding the initiative to Russian President Vladimir Putin and reducing the pressure on Moscow to halt its aggression and get serious about negotiations,” the commentary said.
Talking about the Army Tactical Missile System which have a 300km range and which Kyiv was repeatedly requested, Sullivan said that fear of escalation played a role in withholding them. Alongside ATACMS, the supply of fixed-wing aircraft has been a source of contention between Washington, Kyiv and eastern European capitals. Some European countries have supplied spare parts to Ukraine that has enabled Kyiv to repair some Soviet-era MiG jets, but the US and some allies view the supply of whole aircraft as escalatory.
