Blinken: We will support Ukraine no matter how long it takes

According to Fars International News Agency, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said on Friday that Washington will support Ukraine no matter how long it takes.

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, he said that there is no doubt that Ukraine can succeed in the war with Russia.

The US Secretary of State continued his speech and said: “We have no doubt about the victory and success of Ukraine.”

Referring to the NATO alliance, Blinken said: Nothing like this had been seen in the last 30 years. Thousands of companies from all countries have left Russia because of its high risks.

The head of the American diplomatic service further claimed that all the relations of Russia with the countries of the world have been cut off one after the other.

He continued: “We hope that the leadership of the Russian Federation will understand that this was a strategic failure for him.”

On February 24, 2022 (5th of March 1400), after recognizing the independence of Luhansk and Donetsk republics from Ukraine, Russia sent troops to this region and announced the beginning of “special military operations in Ukraine”.

Russia has announced its goal of this action to de-Nazify Ukraine, disarm this country, resolve its security concerns and respond to Luhansk and Donetsk’s request for help, and has said that it has no intention of seizing Ukrainian lands.

However, the Ukrainian government has not recognized the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk and has called Russia’s military presence an “aggression and attack on its territorial integrity”.

Following the beginning of Russia’s conflict with Ukraine, while condemning Moscow and intensifying economic pressures, Western countries have put all-round political, financial, and weapons support for Kiev on the agenda.

Despite the support of the Westerners, Russia has managed to take over at least 20% of the territory of Ukraine.

Russia has emphasized many times before that Western countries have unofficially entered the war by supplying weapons to Ukraine. “The line between direct and indirect interference is gradually disappearing,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said last week.
