This is a critical phase of the conflict, and so collective support for Ukraine is vital—and urgent.
Russia thinks that it can outlast Ukraine, as Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III said at the Fourth Ukraine Defense Contact Group.
"You know, this is a critical phase of the conflict. And so our collective support for Ukraine is vital—and urgent. Russia thinks that it can outlast Ukraine—and outlast us. But that’s just the latest in Russia’s string of miscalculations", Austin stressed.
According to him, more than 30 countries have now sent lethal military assistance to Ukraine in its hour of crisis. The Secretary of Defense urged the allies to boost their support and expressed gratitude to Poland, Norway and the United Kingdom for their contribution.
"So I look forward to today’s discussion on how we can continue to rush Ukraine more critical capabilities and urgently needed ammunition", Austin added.
