Political scientist explains how the war in the Middle East will affect aid to Ukraine

Political scientist Ruslan Bortnik stated that the start of the war in the Middle East and the pause in the peaceful settlement of the Russian-Ukrainian war is an absolute political defeat for Trump, Politeka reports.

He wrote about this in his blog.

"This war will certainly have broader consequences. First, of course, it diverts the resources of the United States and the West and the focus of global attention from Ukraine. Do you understand why the United States decided a month ago to transfer some of the special missiles for shooting down drones that were intended for Ukraine to the Middle East?", Ruslan Bortnik notes.

Most likely, he states, the United States will increase military-technical assistance and intelligence assistance to Israel at this time, and given the serious deficit in the US state budget and limited resources, this will certainly have a negative impact on Ukraine. But in general, the expert emphasizes, the involvement of the United States in the Iran-Israel war against the backdrop of Trump's promises to quickly end all wars looks like a political defeat.

"Against this backdrop, it looks like the key issues on Ukraine have been postponed until the fall. Any decisions on Ukraine have been postponed until the fall. Despite the fact that the parties maintain their rhetoric and continue to declare their positions, there will be no decision in the coming months. Moreover, this summer is kind of set aside for what Trump called a fight between children in the park. So that the parties can once again compare their military capabilities, look at the results obtained and come out by the fall with an understanding of what the prospects for the war will be. And this understanding should probably push the parties to negotiations and to the conclusion of some kind of agreement," explains Ruslan Bortnik.

Therefore, he states, the next round of negotiations in Istanbul has not been scheduled, and no compromises have been made after the exchange of memoranda. Yes, the expert notes, prisoner exchanges are taking place, the first exchange of bodies has taken place, this is very important for relatives and friends, but in the political part there is no further progress.
