Russian forces are on a roll again, slowly creeping forward through the ruins of Donbas and marshaling their forces for yet another grand offensive this summer. A little hope is just what we need right now.
sabrina, will come to the sunday show. thank you for having me this morning. what kind of security guarantees could be offered to ukraine? could the u.s. security cooperation with israel serve as a template? look, i m not going to get ahead of decisions that the president or other partners and allies are going to make. what we can say is that throughout this war, since the beginning of the war, the united states has committed over 40 billion dollars in security systems for ukraine. they are using the security systems not just from us but for partners and allies valiantly on the battlefield. as they continue to start this counteroffensive, they are the humidities and systems that we are providing them have gone into great effect. you have seen that with a battle of kyiv and kharkiv to all the way now to the counteroffensives. we re going to continue to support them for as long as it takes. that s what the president has said all along. i will ask you about the counter offensive
Recounting the days when his headquarters feared an early fall, Zelensky said everyone was armed and ready to fight to the end as surrender was no choice. He himself was armed with a pistol and ready to take on the Russians, Reuters reported him as telling the channel., World News, Times Now
by providing them with precisely what they need for the battle they re in at the moment and where the battle is headed. in the earliest hours of this war, our ukrainian partners were equipped with what they needed to ultimately win the battle of kyiv. in more recent months we ve provided them with longer-range systems, air defense systems, with the mobil tanks and armored vehicles, precisely what they will need as this battle rages in the east, as it rages in the donbas where it s continuing to grind out. so that will continue. we re having this conversation with ukrainians first and foremost to determine what they may need, and then we re having this conversation with our allies and partners around the world and here at home to see what it is that we have and what we can provide our ukrainian partners to continue this remarkable success and progress they ve had on the battlefield. obviously, this war is very unlikely to end with putin gone and a democratic reformed russia
