Political expert Motyl analyzes Biden's potential support for Zelenskyy's plan in his final months in power

"Biden is known for his slow responses to various issues, having faced criticism from both Ukrainians and Americans for providing weapons and ammunition too late," Motyl said on Radio NV. "Given this established aspect of his character, it’s unlikely he will dramatically change his approach."

Motyl noted that Biden, who has been criticized for a lack of urgency, might realize that now is the time to make significant decisions that he can pass on to his successor, Vice President Harris.

"It would be historically beneficial for him to make bold, important choices in his final months in office, especially knowing that while Harris may have better chances than he does, it’s not guaranteed she will win. Currently, he leads Trump by 2-2.5%, but American politics is unpredictable. Trump beat Hillary Clinton despite her being ahead in the polls," Motyl said.

He highlighted that recent polls suggest Republicans will maintain control of the House of Representatives, and possibly gain the Senate.

"If Harris assumes the presidency, her initiatives could be blocked by a Republican-controlled Congress, which might include policies on Ukraine and Russia. There's a significant risk that if she or Trump becomes president, their power could be severely limited by Congress," he explained.

Motyl concluded that from a pragmatic and historical perspective, it would be "very logical" for Biden to adjust the U.S. stance on Ukraine and the war, adopting "if not the entire victory plan, then at least key components."
