Gen. Charles Brown gets asked about whether the war in Ukraine will end with Ukraine taking back everything Ukraine wants from Russia. Brown answered, No military conflict can be resolved entirely by military means, and ultimately there will be a diplomatic solution that will lead to the end of the conflict. He then said that he could not predict the future. "But I think Washington can play a role in ending this war by continuing to support Ukraine and sending Kiev the weapons and ammunition it needs," added the head of the US Joint Military Staff. Pentagon Washington's latest stance on the war in Ukraine, expressed by the head of the US Joint Military Staff, shows that the United States, as Ukraine's biggest and most important supporter in the war with Russia, has also come to the conclusion that the war in Ukraine is not a military solution, and must be ended through diplomatic ways.

Finally, Zelensky criticized the West's lack of attention to Ukraine This is especially significant considering Ukraine's failure in its army's counterattacks against Russian troop positions in Ukraine's eastern and southeastern provinces as well as the large number of casualties and equipment damage. Alexey Arestovich, a former Advisor to the Office of the President of Ukraine, said that Ukraine lost 300,000 troops during the war with Russia. Despite the high hopes that NATO and the US had for this counterattack to defeat Russian forces and make them withdraw from Ukrainian soil, but in practice, Russia was able to face this counterattack by adopting appropriate tactics and equipment and even managed to take control of new territory. Now Volodymyr Zelensky, the pro-Western President of Ukraine has faced this reality and also the problem that due to the Gaza war, the attention of the West, especially the United States, is focused on the conflict between the Zionist regime and Palestinian resistance groups.

Despite Zelensky's criticisms and complaints, it appears his calls for continued and even increased military and arms aid from the West to Ukraine have fallen on deaf ears. Despite the fact that General Brown promised in his speech to continue sending the weapons and ammunition that Ukraine needs, but due to increasing opposition within America, especially from the Republican Party, the continuation of Washington's assistance to Kiev is as usual in a circle of uncertainty. General Charles Brown Jr, Chairman of the US Military Joint Chiefs of Staff stated that war always ends with a diplomatic agreement, and emphasized that there is no military solution to the conflict in Ukraine. An important thing that was also recognized by the chairman of the US Joint Military Staff was the nature of Ukraine as a tool for Washington in its confrontation with Russia, especially on the European stage. Emphasizing that Washington's support for Kiev is important to us, Charles Brown Jr. said,  Helping Ukraine was determined taking into account Washington's long-term goal of achieving superiority over Moscow. The Biden administration believes that Moscow's victory in the Ukraine war by retaining territory it has controlled will mean expanding Russia's regional and international influence and power, and the military and political balance in Europe will change to the detriment of the United States and NATO.

Therefore, despite real pressure on Kiev to accept a ceasefire and sign a peace treaty with Russia, the West actually wants the continuation of the war in Ukraine. Another issue that needs to be considered in the context of America's efforts to continue the war in Ukraine and intensify Russia's confrontation with Europe is the economic and commercial benefits resulting from changing European energy patterns by reducing or even stopping gas imports from Russia and other countries and on the other hand, and further expanding and increasing imports of liquefied natural gas from the US. Gazprom: Europe Still Using Russian Gas​ In this context, according to data from the European Statistical Organization (Eurostat), American companies have sold liquefied natural gas to European Union countries at double the previous price and worth around 66.7 billion euros since the Ukrainian War. Russian Gas Meanwhile Moscow announced that despite sanctions, European countries continue to buy Russian oil and gas through intermediaries, but at higher prices. In fact, Washington hopes that with the continuation of new gas connections on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, Europe will become a permanent and main customer for United States liquefied natural gas.(sl)
