Four Men in Washington Hold the Key to Ukraine’s Fate in the Middle East Conflict

Washington, D.C. – Ukraine is facing a difficult winter as its counteroffensive against Russian forces fizzles and the world’s attention shifts to the conflict in the Middle East. Yehor Chernev, a member of Ukraine’s Parliament and deputy chairman of its national security, defense and intelligence committee, told NBC News that the shift in attention has made their situation more difficult.

Four men in Washington are largely responsible for shaping America’s policy in the Middle East. The White House coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa is one of the most powerful people in U.S. national security and has a huge sway over the other three. He controls whether global affairs experts within the government, including more experienced staff at the Pentagon and the State Department, are consulted on policy decisions.

Ukraine is now struggling to regain the world’s attention, as the conflict in the Middle East continues to dominate the news. The country is also beset by growing internal wrangling ahead of a long and difficult winter.

The international community must not forget about Ukraine and the ongoing conflict with Russia. The country needs support and assistance to help it through this difficult period. The United States and other countries must continue to work together to ensure that Ukraine is not forgotten and that the conflict is resolved peacefully.
