WASHINGTON, 26 April 2022, (TON): Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said after a secrecy-shrouded visit to Kyiv “Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky is committed to winning his country’s fight against Russia and that the United States will help him achieve that goal.”
Austin told reporters in Poland “he has the mindset that they want to win, and we have the mindset that we want to help them win.”
Austin said “the nature of the fight in Ukraine had changed now that Russia has pulled away from the wooded northern regions to focus on the eastern industrial heartland of the Donbas. Because the nature of the fight has evolved, so have Ukraine’s military needs, and Zelensky is now focused on more tanks, artillery and other munitions.”
Austin said “the first step in winning is believing that you can win.”
“We believe that they can win if they have the right equipment, the right support, and we’re going to do everything we can to ensure that gets to them.”
