 Answering the question if the war in Ukraine will end with Ukraine getting everything it wants from Russia, Brown said: There is no military conflict that is fully resolved by military means, but eventually diplomatic means will be used to end the conflict. Explaining that he cannot predict future events, he has said: 'Washington cannot end the war by continuing to support Ukraine and use the weapons and tools it needs.' Washington's position on the war in Ukraine, given by the head of the US military, shows that the country, being the largest and most important supporter of Ukraine in the war with Russia, has come to the conclusion that the war in Ukraine cannot be resolved by military and diplomatic means. is the only solution to the crisis. This issue is of great importance especially considering the military defeat in Ukraine in its eastern and southeastern regions where it has suffered great losses and destroyed many of its military equipment and tools. Alexey Arstevich, the former vice president of Ukraine, has said that Ukraine has lost 300,000 soldiers in the war with Russia. Despite the great hopes of NATO and the United States to defeat the Russian forces and leave the land of Ukraine, but in practice, the Russians using appropriate methods and equipment have been able to counter the attacks and even capture some new lands of Ukraine.

Right now, Volodymyr Zelensky, the president who has Western tendencies of Ukraine, has agreed with the fact that due to the war in Gaza, Western countries, especially the United States, have been preoccupied with the crisis between the Zionist regime and Palestinian militant groups. Despite Zelensky's criticisms and complaints, apparently his demands to continue the war and even increase military aid and weapons have not been given importance by the West. Despite the fact that General Brown has promised in his negotiations to continue sending weapons and tools needed by Ukraine, but due to the increasing opposition in the United States, especially from the members of the Republican party, the continuation of Washington's aid to Kyiv as usual is something that will be difficult to implement. Ukrainian soldiers The important thing that the heads of the American forces have also admitted is that Ukraine will be used in the confrontation between Washington and Russia, especially on the European stage. Emphasizing the importance of Washington's support for Kyiv, Charles Brown Jr. He has said: Support for Ukraine is based on Washington's long-term goals of strengthening its alliance against Moscow.

The Biden government believes that Moscow's victory in the war in Ukraine will lead the country to continue to occupy the territories it has conquered and thus strengthen the influence and power of Russia regionally and internationally, and this may change the military, security and political balance in Europe to the detriment of the United States and NATO. Washington apparently wants the war to continue in Ukraine, despite pressuring Kyiv to agree to a ceasefire and sign a peace agreement with Russia. Another important issue in the United States' efforts to maintain the war in Ukraine and continue to confront Russia and Europe is the economic benefits derived from the energy trade in European countries due to the decrease and even the suspension of gas imports from Russia and the increase in natural gas imports. from the United States. According to the European Statistics Agency (Eurostat), since the start of the war in Ukraine, American companies have doubled the price of gas for European Union countries, which is around 66.7 billion euros. However, Moscow has announced that despite the sanctions, some European countries still continue to buy their oil and gas through a third party, but at a higher price. Therefore, Washington hopes that continuing the new gas relations on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, will make European countries its permanent customers to buy natural gas.
