The US military has
The US military has put together a list of US weaponry that could support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
If supplied by the Biden administration, could aid Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
These include NATO’s secure communications network and air-to-surface missiles.
Gen. Chris Cavoli listed a number of US capabilities that could aid the Ukrainian military in fighting more successfully in an annex to a classified.
Report about the Biden administration’s Ukraine strategy that was given to Congress early last month.
According to people familiar with the document.
The Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, an air-launched cruise missile, and the Link 16 communications system, which the US and NATO use to share data, were on the list.
According to a second person acquainted with their requests, Ukraine has requested both systems on multiple occasions.
The reason the US has not offered the systems that Cavoli believes would be beneficial is not included in his list.
However, in the past, US officials have voiced concerns about critical US technology ending up in the hands of Russia.
Which one source claimed is probably the reason behind the Link 16 system’s delay.
The Ukrainians are still begging with the US to supply more sophisticated weapons and remove limitations on the use of US-supplied long-range missile systems, nearly three years into the conflict.
Furthermore, even though the US claims to be striving to ensure that Ukraine has what it needs to survive until at least the end of 2025.
The future of US support for Ukraine is unknown given that the US presidential election is less than one month away.
The Ukrainian government keeps up its vigorous lobbying.
According to people familiar with the meeting, President Volodymyr Zelensky brought a comprehensive list of targets within Russia that he intended to hit with US-supplied long-range missiles, or ATACMS.
When he met with President Joe Biden at the White House late last month. The list was not one of weapons.
A crucial component of Zelensky’s “success strategy” for winning the war is the list.
According to the sources, Biden did not completely reject the proposal, despite the fact that he has so far prevented the Ukrainians from deploying their missile systems for deep strikes into Russia. But in the end, he said nothing.
The leaders decided to continue talking about the matter.
However, Zelensky postponed a travel to Germany for a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group this week, so Biden will not be seeing him again anytime soon.
Additionally, officials told CNN that it is doubtful that the US will alter its long-range missile policy.
In general, US authorities claim to be providing Ukraine with all the resources the US military determines Kiev currently requires to support its military campaign.
These drones are actually far more capable than the ATACMs.
However, the Ukrainians have contended that there are several Russian assets in the area that would be key targets.
Such as military sites and logistical and manufacturing centers.
To ensure that Ukraine gets what it needs through the end of 2025.
Launched in July, NATO has developed its own framework to facilitate military training and aid.
In over three years of conflict, Russia has lost hundreds of thousands of fighters.
At a national security conference on Monday at Sea Island, Georgia.
CIA Director Bill Burns stated that Putin “always assumes Americans have attention deficit disorder.
Critics assert that the administration’s strategy for winning in Ukraine is still unclear.
One person who read the paper claimed that. The Congress received classified strategy only loosely defined victory in terms of Ukrainian sovereignty and self-determination.
It proposed categories like reclaimed territory that might be used to assess success in another classified appendix.
But it gave no guidelines.
The situation on the battlefield is still hazy for the time being. Putin’s priority, according to officials, is the east of the country, where Russia has made steady progress. Earlier this year, Ukraine took control of a sizable portion of Russian land, which it is now holding. According to some officials, this move could extend Kyiv’s influence.
