International relations expert and former Jordanian minister Said el-Masri stated that the attacks preceding Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelenskiy's visit to the US won't alter the conflict's trajectory, and the final outcome will be determined by Russia's superiority.
El-Masri emphasized that the primary objective of Zelenskiy's visit is to ensure the continuation of Western arms shipments to Kiev. Additionally, he noted that Zelenskiy's meeting with the US President aims to project a strong image and create the impression that the provided military aid won't go to waste.
El-Masri described Ukraine's moves as having a symbolic nature rather than producing a tangible military effect on the ground, stating
These attacks won't change the course of the conflict and won't determine its outcome. The determining factor in this process is essentially Russia's superiority.
. He also pointed out that the worsening economic situation in Europe, along with increasing pressure within the European Union, has an impact on Washington's calculations and stance.
The expert expressed that Zelenskiy's visit won't be limited to just saving his political reputation, saying
The main objective of these attacks is to obtain military support for improving drone production. However, the American side has come to the conclusion that it's time to end this conflict.
