Does the Biden Administration want Ukraine to drive the Russian invaders out of Ukraine?

ANSWER: No! Driving the Russian invaders out of Ukraine does not seem to be the "policy objective" of the Biden Administration. Their objective is to protect NATO, and they seem willing to sacrifice Ukrainians to do it.

In the following interview, when asked directly if the U.S. policy objective right now was "for Ukraine to defect Russia," the Deputy National Security Advisor for the Biden Administration said the following:
So, I can say our objective is to continue to enable the types of activity that allowed the Ukrainians to win a victory in the battle for Kyiv. Russia intended to take over the capital of Ukraine, to topple the Ukrainian government. The Ukrainians won that battle. We think that exact approach is going to be the way we follow through in the battles ahead, now focused on the south and the east.

After hearing that very vague response, the reporter asked again, "By that logic, is the broader policy goal to see Ukraine defeat Russia writ large?"

The response from the Deputy National Security Advisor was the following:

In our view, Russia has already lost, has already lost many of its initial war aims. They have intended to divide the West. They have resulted in a West and a NATO alliance that is much more united than it's ever been. They thought that they would unsettle, and undermine, and maybe even overthrow the Ukrainian government. President Zelenskyy is firmly entrenched in power and the Ukrainian democracy continues. Russia is more isolated in the world. Its economy is weaker. They are failing at virtually every one of their initial objectives. And our objective is going to be to continue that trend.
"Russia has already lost"? What does that mean? That means that the Biden Administration does not really care if Russians stay in Ukraine as long as they do not invade NATO-member countries. In other words, the policy goal of the Biden Administration is to protect NATO, not Ukraine, and by dragging out the fighting in Ukraine for as long as possible they hope not only to weaken the Russian military but also keep them too distracted to think about invading NATO-member countries.

In summary, the Biden Administration and NATO are essentially using the blood of Ukrainians to protect NATO and the United States, which I think is shameful.

Only when Ukrainians are on the verge of driving the Russian invaders out of Ukraine will the spineless Biden Administration suddenly change its "policy objective" to one of Ukraine driving out the Russian invaders.
