Ukraine is succeeding. Russia has sought as its principal aim to totally subjugate Ukraine, to take away its sovereignty, to take away its independence. That has failed,' Antony Blinken told reporters
to target them. Turning back could send an even stronger message: that the U.S. couldn’t protect its top diplomats against a Russian threat.
Britain also went public with intelligence suggesting that phase two of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was falling flat. The Ministry of Defense announced that “Without sufficient logistical and combat support enablers in place, Russia has yet to achieve a significant breakthrough.” The meeting, which was held on the 60th day of the brutal war that has brought heavy loss of life on both sides, signaled continuing support by the U.S. despite consistent threats by Russia that they would attack supply chains of weapons as a valid war target. The U.S. pledged a $165 million sale of ammunition and more than $300 million in foreign military financing to Ukraine in what has been a way to skirt sending heavy weapons into the country.
Austin, who expressed admiration for the Ukrainian president, said Monday that he believed Ukraine would prevail. “The first step in winning is believing that you can win,” Austin told reporters Monday. “And so they believe that we can win, we believe that they can win if they have the right equipment, the right support.”
