ISW: US military aid to Ukraine may not be enough for Ukraine to regain all of its territory

US officials are reportedly worried that the latest package of US military aid to Ukraine may not be enough for Ukraine to regain all of its territory, Report informs, citing the Institute for Study of War (ISW).

One US official reportedly stated that the “immediate goal” of the US aid package is to stop Ukrainian losses and help Ukraine “regain momentum” on the battlefield, after which the goal will be to help Ukraine regain its territory.

ISW previously assessed that Ukraine’s ability to defend against Russian offensive operations and eventually challenge the theater-wide initiative heavily depends on both the US provision of military aid and on Ukraine’s efforts to restore and reconstitute existing units and create new ones.

US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan stated on April 24 that it is certainly possible that Russian forces could make further tactical advances in the coming weeks but that the US will be able to provide Ukraine with what it needs through 2024.
