Russia ‘continues to pour ‘ill-trained’ troops into Ukraine, Austin says
Russia continues to"pour large numbers" of untrained and poorly-equipped troops into Ukraine ahead of an expected offensive, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said on Wednesday.
"Our goal is to make sure that we give Ukraine additional capability so that they can not only be marginally successful, they can be decisive on the battlefield and in their upcoming offensive," Austin added."We're laser-focused on making sure that we provide a capability and not just platforms." "All the partners in the Ukraine defense contact group have been working hard to ensure that they have the armored capability, the fires of sustainment to be able to be effective in creating the effects on the battlefield that they want to create," he added."And so we believe that there'll be a window of opportunity for them to exercise initiative and then change or continue to create the right conditions on the battlefield there.
