'Our aim is to make sure we provide additional capabilities to Ukraine,' Austin said of the U.S. and its NATO allies.
Russia, Austin said,"continues to pour large numbers of additional people into the fight. And those people are ill-trained and ill-equipped, and because of that, we see them incurring. And we'll probably continue to see that going forward. That's their strength. They have a lot of people."
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is pictured during a press conference after the second of two days of defense ministers' meetings at NATO headquarters on February 15, 2023, in Brussels, Belgium. Austin told reporters that Ukraine has a"good chance" of success in the spring if it can defeat the nascent Russian offensive that is spooling up along the eastern and southeastern fronts.
