And some people still have a hard time believing the US congress members statements when they say "We [meaning US] will fight Russians to the last Ukrainian". This is exactly why Ukraine has been losing and will continue to lose as long as they fight for US and not for Ukraine.

And which member of the US Congress declared that the United States would fight the Russians to the last Ukrainian? Can you refer to any media information about this?

No Western officials, of course, have ever said anything like this. The first instance of the use of the formula “war to the last Ukrainian” was found in a column by veteran American politician Ron Paul, published on his own website on March 14, 2022. Paul has not held any public office for almost 10 years.

But such statements are used by Russian propagandists and presented almost as the official position of the United States. The goal is simple - to “replace” the enemy: they say that Russia is not fighting with Ukraine, but with the entire “collective West”. This makes it easier to explain the obvious failures: the failure of the operation to quickly capture Kyiv in February-March, the September counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kharkov region, the surrender of Kherson in November 2022.

A similar statement was also made by retired American diplomat Chas Freeman in his article for the information portal The Gray Zone, who is not a current US official and expressed only his personal opinion.
Freeman was once the US ambassador to Saudi Arabia. But his reputation has long been hopelessly damaged: for example, he said that the Chinese authorities were too lenient with the “extras” of protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989 (then, according to various estimates, from several hundred to several thousand people died).

Only Putin spoke about this from state officials: “Ukraine’s mobilization reserve is not limitless; it seems that Western countries are ready to fight to the last Ukrainian,” Putin briefly noted.
