Toward this end, Congress provided the Pentagon with appropriations and drawdown authority to provide Ukraine the necessary firepower. Ukrainian successes on the battlefield are encouraging, but Vladimir Putin’s intent to conquer all of Ukraine remains unchanged. The timely provision of effective lethal aid to stabilize Ukrainian defenses and enable long-term resistance against future Russian aggression remains urgent.
“A Russian victory over Ukraine would significantly damage American security and prosperity, and enabling Ukraine’s preservation of its homeland remains a moral imperative and squarely within our national interests,” they wrote. Among some of the concerns of the Biden administration is the drone and its accompanying sensitive technologies ending up in Russia’s hands, according to. Other concerns include the system taking too long to learn how to operate and being too challenging for the Ukrainian military, as well as not being survivable in the war, due to Russian air defenses.
