Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reaffirmed the United States' commitment to backing Ukraine in its conflict with Russia during a meeting at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. Austin assured more than 50 defense leaders from various countries that the US, along with a coalition of allies, will stand by Ukraine and ensure its success.
Last week, US defense officials allocated $300 million in contract savings to provide additional military aid to Ukraine, drawing weapons from Pentagon stocks. This move marked the first shipment of weapons since December, as the situation on the ground in Ukraine has become increasingly dire.
