The Ukraine Conflict and US Interests
It is considered in the United States' national interest for Ukraine to win its war against Russia. This victory is nuanced, as the definition of 'winning' is complex and varies among experts. Key aspects of this definition include Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and future economic viability. Without a clear consensus on these criteria, there lacks a robust strategy from Western allies to support Ukraine effectively in the long term.
