The New York Times referenced comments by Maksym Skrypchenko, President of the Transatlantic Dialogue Center, in its analysis of the evolving relationship between Ukraine and the United States amid stalled peace negotiations and growing uncertainty surrounding future American support.
Commenting on Ukraine’s increasing defence self-reliance, Skrypchenko noted that even a potential suspension of U.S.-made arms supplies would no longer have the same critical impact on Ukraine as in previous stages of the war. As he explained, Ukraine has significantly strengthened its domestic defence production capabilities and become less dependent on direct American military assistance. He stressed, however, that U.S. intelligence support would remain the most difficult element to replace, although European alternatives could gradually help fill this gap.
«Si una mañana despertáramos sin todo eso, ya no sería un desastre como antes», declaró Skrypchenko a The New York Times. «Ya no es como en la era Biden, cuando dependíamos tanto de los recursos estadounidenses».
El artículo sitúa estas declaraciones en un debate más amplio sobre los esfuerzos de Ucrania por adaptarse a un entorno transatlántico cambiante, incluido el fortalecimiento de la producción nacional de armamento, la ampliación de la cooperación en defensa con socios europeos y los preparativos para una posible guerra prolongada con Rusia.
