A FLAT ‘NO’: It’s the same underlying question: Is the United States willing to give Ukraine the weapons it needs to defeat Russia this year or just enough not to lose? The debate has shifted from main battle tanks to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s urgent pleas for modern fighter aircraft, specifically U.S. F-16s, of which the U.S. Air Force has nearly 50 C/D models that are being retired.
“A lot of this could have been done sooner. And then, you know, they're talking about it potentially being six months, a year or more before the Abrams tanks get there,” said Robert Gates, former Bush and Obama administration defense secretary, on NBC.

We see the opposite. We see that they are preparing for more war, that they are mobilizing more soldiers, more than 200,000, and potentially even more than that.
“We've deployed 5th generation aircraft F-22s, F-35s, also deployed a carrier strike group to visit the peninsula,” said Austin. “You can look for more [of] that kind of activity going forward, but in addition to that, you can look for deeper consultation between our two countries. We will do a number of tabletop exercises to ensure that we're seeing things eye to eye … to make sure that no stone is left unturned.
“I planned to leave Wagner for a while, but I didn't have the opportunity. I was afraid I will be captured and shot as a traitor,” he said of his decision to leave the mercenary force run by Yevgeny Prigozhin. “I am ready for serious action, but I also want to live. By the end, I knew they won't let me go. I will return as part of the dead or the wounded. It was time to make a radical decision. If it wasn't for my guys, my comrades, I would have been buried at some training ground.
