Joe Biden's Ukraine Approach: Reassurances, Deterrence, and NATO Concerns in U.S Foreign Policy

Abstract

This study examines the multifaceted essence of President Joe Biden's approach towards Ukraine, which is reflected by an intent to assure the Ukrainian security while constraining the escalation of conflict that may trigger a widespread war with Russia. U.S is providing assistance to Ukraine, ranging over diplomatic, economic, and defense spheres while contends with the reservations about Ukrainian NATO membership. The paper further analyzes the scenario wherein EU member states have divergent outlooks towards Ukraine’s NATO membership.  If Ukraine integrates into NATO during ongoing war, it will question persistently regarding the credibility of NATO's enlargement policy and instigate further divisions among NATO members. U.S along with its Western allies have imposed a series of sanctions on Russia. However, deploying troops on the ground in Ukraine is a threshold that the U.S has been reluctant to cross. The research concludes that the scenario appears to feature a poignant enigma, where diplomacy tactfully intermingles with aspiration, reinforcing the complex fusion of international relations.
