“One percent is good. I urge you to provide one percent of NATO tanks to Ukraine.” This is the statement made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelinsky at the NATO summit on March 24. However, without mentioning arms support, United States President Biden stressed that the US approach to non-deployment would remain strong.
Pak Sahafat News agency: The United States, the world’s largest military power, has repeatedly deployed troops around the world. However, the Biden administration has stated that it will not intervene in Ukraine. Will US policy remain strong as Russian attacks continue, which could lead to more civilian casualties? “One percent is good. I urge you to provide one percent of NATO tanks to Ukraine.” This is the statement made by Ukrainian President Vladmir Zelinsky at the NATO summit on March 24. However, without mentioning arms support, US President Biden stressed that the US approach to non-deployment would remain strong.

The first reason for the United States not to send troops to Ukraine is that it is not a member of NATO and the United States has no defense obligations to Ukraine. The second reason is that sending troops to Ukraine will not benefit the United States. If the Ukraine war was directly related to US security and had strategic interests for the country, it would go to war. The war in Afghanistan, which was in fact a “war on terror,” took place in response to terrorist attacks, and in Iraq, “weapons of mass destruction” were the pretext for US military operations on Iraqi soil. But this time, Ukraine is not in a position to directly threaten the United States. The third reason why the United States is not sending troops to Ukraine is that it could lead to a military conflict with Russia. The US-Russia military conflict could lead to World War III and eventually to nuclear war. The Biden government, which has just ended its withdrawal from Afghanistan, cannot take risks and enter into a major war.
The United States, along with various European countries, is pursuing widespread military support for Ukraine, even if it does not send troops. Large numbers of weapons have been sent to Ukraine and heavy damage has been done to the Russian army. The United States has decided to double Ukraine’s defense budget by 2020 to provide military and humanitarian assistance. However, the Biden government has also set a policy for military support to Ukraine. Biden’s government’s policy is that military support should not provoke Russia and NATO into war.
Commenting on Russia’s attack on Ukraine, Richard Haas, head of the American Council on Foreign Relations think tank, said that Russia’s move to defeat its rivals by resorting to violence was itself a challenge to international order. “The world operates on certain principles,” said Royce, of the Council on Foreign Relations think tank. We must not allow these principles to change through violence. “If a military attack on Russia is allowed, other countries will dare to do the same, and as a result, the world will enter into great chaos.” However, although the three reasons why the United States did not send troops to Ukraine may not change, the interpretation of the policy that sets the limits of support for Ukraine needs to change.
