If, in coming weeks, the conflict does end up becoming a stalemate, it won't be due to Ukraine's timidity.
Senior administration officials recently made the case on Capitol Hill for still more funding for Ukraine. In testimonies before the Senate Appropriations Committee, both Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken argued in favor of a massive $61.4 billion to backstop Kyiv's fight against Russian aggression. The package, they made clear, is crucial in both practical and symbolic terms.
Yet those planes are still not flying; long training times mean that the F-16s in question won't be in a position to contribute to Kyiv's defense until at least the end of the year.Worse still, America's allies have taken their cues from the administration's piecemeal approach. This summer, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced a plan to provide Ukraine with 17 billion euros in military aid and weaponry through 2027.
