Today, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin participated in the D-Day ceremony, where he discussed the anniversary and current global crises, including the war in Ukraine. During a conversation, Secretary Austin addressed President Biden's recent statement calling Russian President Putin a dictator and not a decent man.
Regarding the situation in Ukraine, Secretary Austin emphasized that the U.S. policy on using long-range strike weaponry into Russia remains unchanged. However, the U.S. has provided Ukraine with the capability to defend itself by striking back at Russian troops and artillery batteries that target Ukrainian forces.
