“Ukraine needs our help to win today. And they will still need our help when the war is over,” Austin told meeting participants. “As President Biden says, our security assistance has gone ‘directly to the frontlines of freedom ... and to the fearless and skilled Ukrainian fighters who are standing in the breach.’ My Ukrainian friends, we know the burden that all of you carry.

Austin III hosts the Ukraine Defense Consultative Group with his NATO counterparts and other nations to discuss both the current and future defense needs of Ukraine, Ramstein Air Base, Germany, April 26.
