Lloyd Austin said that “without this help, Ukraine would find it difficult to defend itself against the superior power of the Russians.”
The battlefield impact of US funding provided to Ukraine is “too early” to assess. It took time for Kyiv to receive some of the allocated capabilities. This is what US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said, Voice of America reports.
He said he was in talks with his Ukrainian colleague Umerov, keeping the most important needs under control.
“It’s hard to turn back time, but I think that without this help it would be very difficult for Ukraine to defend itself against the superior force that the Russians have,” the minister said.
According to him, the help of Iran and North Korea allowed Russia to “get back on its feet” after the losses it suffered from the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“At a certain point, Russia suffered huge losses due to the actions taken by Ukraine and its Armed Forces. They caused huge losses to the Russian forces, destroyed a large amount of their equipment. Seen We also saw how Russia attracted North Korea, which provided a lot of ammunition and missiles. The drones provided by Iran really helped and started to change the situation a little bit for Russia,” explained the head of the Pentagon.
He added that without the help of the PRC, Russia would not be able to establish its military industry.
“So we are using the right channels to highlight our serious concerns about China and others providing such support,” Austin concluded.
