“What we’re really focused on right now is providing Ukraine with the funds it needs to succeed right now,” Austin was quoted as saying by TASS.
According to him, in this matter the West has a window of opportunity from now until spring.
He added that it is necessary to raise suitable funds.

United States Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, in an article for 19FortyFive, expressed the opinion that new arms deliveries to Kyiv will not help change the course of the conflict.
