Coming months in Ukraine will be decisive, - Austin
The coming months will be decisive for Ukraine, but Western countries will continue to act decisively, helping our country fight for its freedom.
This was stated by the head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin, informs Censor.NET with reference to RBC-Ukraine.
"Ukraine's survival and success are critical to Ukrainian security, European security, global security and American security," he said.
The head of the Pentagon clarified that if Russian dictator Vladimir Putin wins, then tyrants will come to the conclusion that they can also try to invade and conquer their sovereign neighbors.
Austin added that it would leave Europe under "Putin's shadow" and make the world more violent and chaotic. Therefore, Ukraine's struggle for freedom and security is important for all Western countries.
The head of the Pentagon added that he is determined to provide Ukraine with everything it needs for success.
