Russian PresidentVladimir Putin could launch the expected major summer offensive in Ukraine during the upcoming NATO summit in Washington, writes the Atlantic Council analytical centert.

“It is likely that the new Russian offensive will coincide with the upcoming NATO summit in Washington from July 9 to 11 (…) in accordance with the official Russian propaganda that this war is being waged not only against Ukraine, but also against NATO and that this is a civilizational war. the fight against the collective West“, writes the analysis of the Atlantic Council, reports the Ukrainian agency Union.

It is added that Putin would thereby try to “humiliate the alliance at the very moment when it marks three quarters of a century of curbing Moscow’s imperial ambitions”.

According to an analysis by the Atlantic Council, the administration of US President Joseph Biden will have two options in the event of Russia’s progress – “to stay the course and increase the risk of Ukrainian casualties, or to switch from a policy of ‘as long as it takes’ to a ‘whatever it takes’ approach for the Ukrainians.” to push the Russians back”.

The second option, according to the analysis, would increase the risk of escalation in Ukraine, but would also remove Biden’s “electoral risk of being blamed for the failure of American policy in Ukraine.”

Yesterday, the US Senate adopted a law approving a $61 billion security aid package for Ukraine, and the analysis states that Western countries are not helping Ukraine to take the initiative, but only helping it enough “to stop the active offensive of the Russian occupiers.”
