Biden: I do not think that the armed conflict in Ukraine will continue for years

Being on a visit to Finland, previously admitted to NATO and ready to deploy American weapons on its territory, the US President answered journalists' questions during a press conference. There were, of course, no questions about Ukraine. The question was raised about how long the Ukrainian armed conflict could continue.

Answering this question, Biden said that "the war in Ukraine will not last for years."

President of the U.S.A:

I believe there are several reasons for this. First of all, I don't think that Russia can support this war forever, primarily because of its resources and its potential. Secondly, I think that circumstances will develop in such a way that President Putin will decide that it is not in the interests of Russia either economically or politically to continue this.

Thus, Biden never once mentioned the option that was constantly discussed before the start of the Ukrainian counteroffensive. This option boiled down to the fact that the armed conflict "will soon end due to the victory of Ukraine." However, Biden nevertheless decided to add the on-duty phrase that he still hopes "for the progress of the Ukrainian offensive operation."

Meanwhile, fresh statistics have been cited in NATO countries, according to which only 28% of the citizens surveyed believe that Ukraine will reach the 1991 borders during the counteroffensive (this is if we consider that the respondents are generally aware of where these borders are). Back in early May, about 64% of the then polled citizens of a number of NATO countries believed in a victorious Ukrainian counteroffensive. The smallest number of those who are confident in the success of Ukraine's counter-offensive are in Bulgaria and the aforementioned Finland - 22 and 24%, respectively. The largest - in Denmark and the Netherlands - 39 and 40 percent.

Putin, in theory, can come to Shoigu and offer to spread his brains on how to finish this as soon as possible. Look where there are bridges, decision centers and all that, well, in order to save our resources

[All_Good]

So everything suits, since there are no plans to change tactics.

[Mwg]

"Biden: I don't think..." - because I have long forgotten how to think...
Lord forgive me ...

Western partners still need to write off the old planes in Europe, and then it will be possible to negotiate.

Putin, in theory, can come to Shoigu

After today's meeting of the Rada with the speech of Potroshenko, what ideas can there be? They met without a kumpol without fear that the Dagger would fly in. Negotiated!

[alexoff]

Today's? Yes, during the NVO, not a single Ukrainian deputy, businessman, mayor or politician was injured, even Zelya's mansion stands intact in Koncha-Zaspa. Like they are puppets, and free people who have made the wrong choice are sitting in the trenches, so you can throw them at the opornik according to the FAB

[Ivan Ivanov_7]

What if Zely's mansion blows up, will anything change? Probably "leopards" will remain without fuel and lubricants?

[alexoff]

It will change, all sorts of Ukrainian politicians will collect their belongings and leave, Zelya will spread his brains and offer Budanov to slow down and much more

[radeon5000]

Seele, his property in Ukraine is a total waste of money, he has millions of hard currency and is full of real estate abroad.

[Installer]

In theory, Shoigu goes to Putin, Putin can call Shoigu)))

[Alexander Kochurkov]

Study history. The rapid successes of the Russian army at the beginning of the Crimean War led to the intervention of almost all of Europe in the war and the defeat of Russia. If we were to achieve rapid success now, say by the summer of last year, we would get NATO intervention. By turning the war into a war of attrition, we have deprived them of a reason, saying that Ukraine will cope on its own. As a result, we have empty arsenals of Europe, irritation and fatigue of Europeans from Ukrainian refugees and politicians. And at home we have a "creeping" mobilization of the army and the transfer of the defense industry to a military footing.
And Biden's grandfather did a good job ... giving the right signal to the military-industrial complex - the war will not last for years, and therefore it makes no sense to deploy mass production of shells (and not only).

[Vladimir80]

If we were to achieve rapid success now, say by the summer of last year, we would get NATO intervention

this is just a new "explainer", thanks - and to be honest, the West thought to drain the border until autumn, and then realized that our puppets were under control - and began pumping weapons "in an adult way"

transfer of the defense industry to a war footing.

Is there evidence?

And Biden's grandfather is doing well ... giving the right signal to the military-industrial complex - the war will not last for years

and stupid Russians continue to believe the statements of the enemy!

this is a brand new explanation

I gave a specific historical example., and you have your sense of humor?

Yes

and what about the Russians?

Quote: Vladimir80

the West thought to merge the border before autumn,

Invest in the creation of anti-Russia billions, then to merge quietly?

Quote: Vladimir80

I realized that our puppets were under control - and started pumping weapons "according to an adult

And why fight with puppets, if you can simply order them?

[Paul Siebert]

Here I agree with the Crazy Grandfather! ...
I think by the end of November we will put xoxlov cancer.
And without the use of any such nuclear tactical ...
Soon they will begin a shell hunger, and we will knock out their equipment from the air and with high-precision.
Again, they began to surrender into captivity. A spring compressed to the limit is bound to burst!

Don't go on. That's better.

[Alexander Raikov]

So from 22.06.1941/09.05.1945/4. on 24.02.2026/XNUMX/XNUMX, almost XNUMX years. If before February XNUMX, XNUMX If we don't reach Lvov, then why did we start?

[dmi.pris1]

Why think ..? Come on, Freddie! Stop this mess. Even Zelya is sure that you, the grandfather, are able (for now) to finish it all in 5 minutes

[Dizel200]

Some kind of totalizer. For this depraved public, it's all games.

[Rumata]

Biden: I don't think

Fso! It's enough.

The bad thing is that when the US is profitable, they will "wave a carrot" and freeze this conflict. But for us, for the country e
in general, this will not bring anything good.

What a freeze! Let them just stop their deliveries, NATO will immediately support them. And where will that Ukraine be? There is no need to hope for this, but be ready to deliver a decisive blow without any regard for "partners"

[Vladimir M]

This is the problem, that someone does not want (cannot) decide on a coordinating solution to the Ukrainian issue.

They will not stop arms supplies without a ceasefire agreement.

[Myths]

And after that they will stuff everything they can, as long as there is someone.

[Enceladus]

You will already be a grandfather in the next world - it lasts for you ... certainly not long left. They communicate with air, etc.

[Mavrikiy]

I think Circumstances will turn out so that President Putin decides that it is not in the interests of Russia either economically or politically to continue this.

What?

[Fangaro]

The older a person becomes, the more his historical (including from personal experience) knowledge, and the more difficult it is to quickly and efficiently perceive new information.
With age, sometimes it becomes more correct not to say what you think, but silently think about what others say.

[tralflot1832]

Biden is an experienced politician when he remembers. He always leaves a chance - so that "Kuzya" always atmazes him: you misunderstood him. In short, the counterattack failed. Now Biden is waiting for our answer.

[Aitmouhoub]

Le président sénile a dû faire une autre confusion dans son esprit: il a dû confondre l'Ukraine et la Russie. Car si on remet ses sujets dans le bon ordre, ça passe!

[Yaro Polk]

* but .. the mattress fascist rat will not see this anymore.

[kill the fascist]

This is news - a self-propelled grandfather can also think! The counteroffensive failed (according to the Banderogeev version, everything goes according to plan), so the fart hopes to curtail activity before the elections.

[Al manah]

I think circumstances will develop in such a way that President Putin will decide that it is not in the interests of Russia to continue this either economically or politically.

And for some reason it reminded me again: https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/2467504
"It has already happened, my glorious Arata ..." (c)

[Rt Rt]

As long as the war will earn, it will continue. As soon as it becomes uneconomical, the next day will end

[guest]

Putin will decide that it is not in the interests of Russia to continue this

But Biden's notions of Russia's interests do not correspond to reality.

[former soldier]

Biden says strange words. As if it were not in his (USA) ability to end the war. Although it is possible so. There are beneficiaries who need it for a long time.

[guest]

Biden: I don't think

Now, if he had stopped there, then for the first time in his life he would have told the truth.

[rocket757]

Biden: I do not think that the armed conflict in Ukraine will continue for years

Bah, it also thinks ... surprised!

[Pavel_Sveshnikov]

He would put himself in our place. For example, in Canada, the French population would take power by force and begin to rot all the remaining English-speaking population. At the same time, Russia would be invited to build military bases and military biological laboratories. I would see how stubbornly America would deal with this problem sparing neither strength nor means. Yes, they would have fought for 10 years if they could not immediately solve this problem. Although no - they would have piled on and in half a year they would have settled everything.

[MBRSS]

Biden: I do not think that the armed conflict in Ukraine will continue for years

he forgot to add "...but this should be striven for!"

[Revolver]

Biden: I don't think

All subsequent words are redundant. Stupid Joe slept.

[AlexWar]

Why was NATO Ukraine? To fight with Russia. Bandera came to power, realizing that they would not be able to oppose anything against Russia, they are very much asking for NATO. It is strange how the Baltic countries were taken into NATO?
Will Putin continue the war, if we take into account the war in Chechnya, it was 10 years old, then the conflict in Ukraine will not subside. Russia has trump cards like missiles.

[Mikhail Ivanov]

Grandfather, apparently, like Tsar Saltan bathed in three vats and received his sight. And then everyone was crucifying that the war would be long and NATO would win with the hands of a crest. I wonder what he will tell his Eastern European partners in Poland and Romania when the first Russian missiles begin to fall on their military installations? Hold on brothers, abroad will help you! These Americans are characters from 12 chairs, they live a life of deceit. Only, unlike Comrade Bender, they also kill ...

All in cowboy style - they flew in, shot, it didn’t work out, they galloped on. They have no logical conclusion anywhere, Syria, Afghanistan are a vivid example of this.

How is it not?! There, everything very logically ended with the complete collapse of states. Even in Syria, where Assad has held out, he does not control much of all the territories and very few of the resources.
And this is the goal. From the former colonies, either the West or no one will profit.

[Ross xnumx]

Secondly, I think that circumstances will develop in such a way that President Putin will decide that it is not in the interests of Russia either economically or politically to continue this.

And what will the people say about the shed blood for unimportant values ​​and unpromising goals?

[AlexWar]

Exactly until the last Ukrainian, or those who wish to remain Ukrainian, will be declared mobilization and will be sent to slaughter.
