Putin wanted to demoralize the Ukrainians, but demoralized the Russian army, although he still believed that he would “survive” in Ukraine and the United States.
The United States of America remains allies of Ukraine and wants to help Ukraine create an army that can repel Russia in the future. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced this on Monday, December 11, at the National Defense University in Washington, introducing Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, who arrived in the States on December 11.
He recalled that since the beginning of the massive invasion, the United States has allocated more than $44 billion to help Ukraine, uniting a “historic coalition” involving 50 allies and partners that have provided more than $37 billion in aid to Ukraine.
“The capabilities of our coalition are critical on the battlefield. Ukraine has regained more than half of the territory captured by Russia since February 2022. And the Russian army has significantly weakened. You know, Putin tried to demoralize the Ukrainian people. But he demoralized the Russian. army,” Austin said.
He said the United States is committed to helping Ukraine fight to protect its territory and its people, and to deter Russia from any further aggression, including against NATO allies.
The head of the Pentagon emphasized that if we do not reject the aggression of the Kremlin today and we do not stop other potential aggressors, it will cause a chain aggression in the world.
“America will be safer if we stand up to Putin’s aggressive Russia,” he said.
The President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky spoke with representatives of the US National Defense University.
Zelensky flew to the United States, where he met with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Charles Brown.
