US does not want Ukraine to win the war, why?

US aid to Ukraine has resticted condiions imposed. The United States has been the leading provider of aid to Ukraine, offering financial, political, and military support. Washington has imposed and continues to impose sanctions against Russia and its supporters, including Iran. The US has supplied Ukraine with tanks, rocket launchers, armored vehicles, missiles, ammunition, and other weapons.

Currently, Ukraine is working to lift US restrictions on striking Russian military targets with the long-range weapons provided. This issue was discussed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and British Foreign Secretary,David Lammy, during a meeting in Kyiv on September 11, 2024. According to Bloomberg, the US is demanding a strategy from Ukraine for strikes against Russia before lifting these restrictions. The given explanation is that Ukrainian forces are not fully and meticulously trained to use US modern tech in rockets and launchers. The real reason is that the Russians should be kept away from acquiring US "know how". Strangely,the supplied rockets are outdated stockpiles of technology and operation. However, some,if not most of the US supplied rockets are antiquated weaponry. Ukraine knows very well, also their operations are not a secret from Russian intelligence. It is game of "cats and mice" a part of diplomacy. Among their many contributions to Ukraine, Allies and partners have delivered 10 long-range Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS), 178 long-range artillery systems, nearly 100,000 rounds of long-range artillery ammunition, nearly 250,000 anti-tank munitions, 359 tanks, 629 armored personnel carriers and infantry, according to reports. The cost of this aid is US $25 billion since war began on 14 February 2022. The undisclosed issue is how to contain the outcome should Russia be outmanouvered and loses the war.Would US and NATO want to contemplate such a scenario, or how to contain it, before the impending US Presidential Election in November 2024. After this date, it is bleak winter in Russia and Ukraine. It is anybody's guess, how this will play? President Biden appeared on the verge of approving Ukraine’s use of long-range Western weapons on targets deep inside Russian territory on the condition that it doesn’t use arms provided by the U.S., according to European officials. Biden is expected to discuss the issue today when he meets with Britain’s new prime minister, Keir Starmer, in Washington. ) Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, warned yesterday (12 September 2024) that the country would “make appropriate decisions” in response to the Western move. “This will mean that NATO countries — the United States and European countries — are at war with Russia,” he said.
