“On the issue of aircraft: I don’t have any announcements about this today,” RIA Novosti quotes Austin as saying at a press conference following a meeting of the Ukrainian support group in Brussels.
He noted that Washington and its allies continue to assess the needs of Kyiv and expect the activation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the spring.
Earlier, former Pentagon adviser Colonel Douglas McGregor said that the resources of the United States and its partners that supply Ukraine with ammunition are rapidly declining.
Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzia said that it is beneficial for Kyiv's Western curators to prolong the conflict in Ukraine so that the country remains a testing ground for weapons.
