Despite political shocks casting doubts over the West's long-term commitment to Ukraine, Biden is leading efforts to send a strong message of intent. However, no US president can truly bind his successor to a course of action.

Relentless Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure have destroyed half of Kyiv's electricity production capacity, and Russian success in rebuilding its military machine has led some senior European officials to warn of a mounting threat to Europe's territorial integrity.

Biden’s emotional, political, and diplomatic investment in Ukraine cannot be questioned and will be the foundation of his presidential legacy.
Uncertainty over the West’s long-term commitment to Ukraine is perennially stubborn and fueled by shifting political currents on both sides of the Atlantic.
Trump - who disdains Ukraine, lionizes Putin, and cares little for Europe’s security - may be less than five months from winning back the presidency.

Deception
(30%)
The article contains editorializing and emotional manipulation by the author. The author expresses his opinion that 'autocrats of the world' are watching Ukraine closely and that Putin will not tire of the conflict before the West does. He also implies that Trump may win back the presidency, which could create complications for Ukrainian support from Europe and America. These statements are not facts but rather opinions and emotional manipulation.
But uncertainty over the West’s long-term commitment is perennially stubborn.
autocrats of the world are watching closely to see what happens in Ukraine.
The ex-president may be less than five months from winning back the presidency.
Fallacies
(85%)
The author makes an appeal to authority by quoting Biden's statements and the opinions of experts. However, there are also instances of inflammatory rhetoric used to describe Putin and Trump. For example, the author describes Putin as an 'autocrat' and a 'war economy,' implying that he is a tyrant who does not care about his people or the consequences of his actions. Similarly, the author describes Trump as someone who 'disdains Ukraine,' lionizes Putin,' and cares little for Europe's security.' These statements are not based on facts and can be considered inflammatory. Therefore, I cannot give this article a perfect score.
Putin's willingness to throw thousands of Russian lives into the meat grinder of the front-line without suffering any political effects back home in a nation purged of political opponents means the possibility always remains that the West tire of the conflict before he does.

Wesley Clark warned in a Hudson Institute briefing this month that it would be wrong to underestimate the potentcy of the Russian military following the mockery in the West that greeted the decimation of the Kremlin expeditionary force and its poor leadership and tactics earlier in the war.
The Russian character, the Russian force is structured around grinding forward, grinding forward regardless of losses, grinding forward through bad command decisions.

President Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky plan to sign a 10-year security agreement committing Washington to supply Kyiv with a wide range of military assistance.
, The deal aims to commit future U.S. administrations to support Ukraine even if former president Donald Trump wins November’s election.
The agreement will be a framework for a long-term effort by the United States to help develop Ukraine’s armed forces, which have innovated on drone warfare and other cutting-edge techniques in the fight against Russia.
Officials said that they hoped the agreement would transcend political divisions within the United States, but acknowledged that Trump or any future president could withdraw from the legally binding executive agreement as it is not a treaty and will not be ratified by Congress.
Washington will strengthen Ukraine’s ‘credible defense and deterrence capability.’
The pact does not commit Washington to supply troops to defend Ukraine if it is attacked nor does it have a dollar figure attached to the support Washington will supply Ukraine.
And it will try to help build Ukraine’s long-term deterrent power across different domains including air, sea and cyber.
