 U.S. Working on New Aid Strategy for Ukraine, Washington Post. U.S. President Joe Biden's administration is putting together a new aid strategy for Ukraine which focuses on helping Ukraine fend off new Russian advances rather than winning back Russian-occupied territory. The strategy also focuses on the long-term goal of strengthening Ukraine's armed forces and economy. The Washington Post reported this, citing sources in Biden's administration. The Washington Post reported that Biden's administration is putting together a new strategy that will de-emphasize winning back territory and focus instead on helping Ukraine fend off new Russian advances while moving toward a long-term goal of strengthening its fighting force and economy. A senior administration official told the Washington Post that the goal is to position Ukraine to maintain its battlefield positions while also putting the country on a different trajectory to be much stronger by the end of 2024 and get them on a more sustainable path. The U.S. plan is part of the multilateral efforts by nearly 30 countries to offer Ukraine long-term security and economic support both out of necessity given the disappointing results of last year's counter-offensive and the conviction that a similar effort this year would likely bring the same outcome. And as a demonstration of enduring resolve to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Washington Post wrote.
