Many on the Democrat side argue there\u2019s nothing fundamentally wrong with Biden\u2019s Ukraine policy. On the contrary, his advisors and supporters explain that he\u2019s stayed true to his initially stated goal of supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes, while avoiding a direct conflict with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Staying true to a strategy doesn\u2019t guarantee its success, however. And while Biden has managed to lead a broad international coalition in support of Ukraine, looking at the situation on the battlefield, the limits of this cautious approach are now becoming clear \u2014 notwithstanding its incursion across the border into Russia, Kyiv is losing ground, both literally and figuratively. Thus, continuing Biden\u2019s balancing act means that a point of failure is coming, either before or after a painful peace deal with Russia, which is still aiming to undermine a sovereign and independent Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Another suboptimal result of the cautious Biden doctrine is that U.S. policy on Ukraine has been increasingly dictated from former U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s camp in Mar-o-Lago \u2014 not Washington itself. It was Trump who hijacked and delayed a vote in the U.S. Congress to pass supplemental aid for Ukraine. And now, it\u2019s Trump and his advisors who are again steering the conversation on how and when the war should end.<\/p>\n<p>By seeking to keep the issue of Ukraine off the campaign trail, Biden\u2019s team has essentially allowed Trump to frame the narrative around any future peace agreement. So, with Harris\u2019s nomination now assured, the Democrats must reassert their control over America\u2019s Ukraine policy \u2014 one that, if it is to succeed, must make clear that this war will only be brought to a favorable end through strength. For example, Harris needs to signal her willingness to lift the remaining caveats on the use of Western-supplied long-range weapons against military targets within Russia, as well as those on deploying NATO country trainers to Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Up until now, Biden\u2019s hesitancy has allowed Russia to escalate the conflict at limited cost. Harris, for her part, must indicate that she won\u2019t allow Russian President Vladimir Putin to set the terms of war. And to this end, she could propose a new approach where NATO countries willing to do more could do so. For example, she could signal U.S. support for allies shooting down Russian missiles or drones in close vicinity to their territory as acts of self-defense \u2014 a move that wouldn\u2019t mean NATO entering the conflict directly, but one that would step away from Biden\u2019s narrow interpretation of NATO\u2019s interests and the alliance\u2019s role in supporting Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>A new Harris plan could also address a big grievance among Republicans: that Europeans are still doing far too little. And to this end, lifting these most restrictive caveats and showing U.S. support would open the way for more forward-leaning European allies \u2014 such as France, the U.K., the Nordics, the Czech Republic, Romania and Poland \u2014 to take more calculated risks in support of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/kamala-harris-us-presidency-reset-war-ukraine\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/kamala-harris-us-presidency-reset-war-ukraine\/\">Politico<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/commission-approves-e99-5-million-romanian-state-aid-measure-to-support-nokian-tyres-new-zero-2\/\">A Harris presidency could be a reset for Ukraine<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[6780,559,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-133041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-harris","tag-ukraine","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133041"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133041\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
