The U.S., which has sent tens of thousands of artillery and mortar rounds from its own stockpiles, will send M1 Abrams tanks.
The first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine falls on Feb. 24. There is no end in sight. Both sides are intensifying their commitment. Russia is preparing for a spring offensive and planning to mobilize a further 500,000 conscripts. The United States is sending Ukraine its largest military “aid package” yet, worth $3.75 billion and including Bradley armored personnel carriers. Germany has agreed to U.S. pressure to send Leopard 2 battle tanks.
The U.S. began with the goals of containing Russia, restoring the status quo before last February’s invasion, reviving NATO, and restoring a balance of power in Europe. A year later, the mission has crept to fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian, expanding NATO to the Arctic Circle, defeating the world’s biggest nuclear power on its own doorstep, and causing the overthrow of Putin. We deceive ourselves if we deny that this, too, is a plan for total victory.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainians recently tested “kamikaze drones” with a range of over 600 miles. President Joe Biden is currently refusing to send F-16s and the Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS, which would increase the Ukrainians' range to 200 miles. But on Jan. 26, CNN told us that there is a “broad understanding that, in the long term, Ukraine will switch to Western jets from its current, Soviet-era MiG-29 and Sukhoi Su-27.
