According to her, Joe Biden's team is actively working to implement this promise and is developing large aid packages that will be transferred to Ukraine almost every week.

The president has made it clear that he intends to use all the powers granted by Congress, and we will make every effort to make that happen, Sabrina Singh emphasized.

What is known about the plans of the Pentagon

According to the deputy speaker of the US Department of Defense, their team will continue to replenish its reserves, as it does not have the right to reduce the level of combat readiness of the States.

In addition, Sabrina Singh added that the US Department of Defense will do everything possible to ensure that Ukraine receives the necessary resources to successfully fight on the battlefield.

You've seen us release big packages, you know, since the very beginning, and you've seen us release them virtually on a weekly basis. So I expect that over the coming months of this administration, you will continue to see these packages coming out of our stockpile," she added.

By the way, it also recently became known that Joe Biden plans to transfer more than 500 missiles to Ukraine.

Ukrainian forces continue to hold part of Russia's Kursk Oblast, despite Russia's attempts to dislodge them, General Christopher Cavoli, commander of U.S. European Command (EUCOM), said during a congressional hearing.

Points of attention

  • General Cavoli highlights the Ukrainian forces' success in holding part of Russia's Kursk Oblast against Russian attempts to dislodge them.
  • Maintaining a strong military presence in Europe is crucial, as it deters further Russian aggression and ensures stability in the region.

Ukraine has not ceased hostilities on the territory of the Russia — Kavoli

There are now significant forces holding a sizeable — reduced, but sizeable — chunk of land in the Kursk region of Russia. And they're holding a very good defensive area south of Belgorod... So we still have movement back and forth in that area.

The general also stressed that he opposes reducing US troops in Europe. His reservations run counter to previous plans by the Donald Trump administration for a possible withdrawal of 10,000 troops.

"My advice is to maintain the position of power as it is now," Cavoli said.

This position is shared by Republicans in Congress. Mike Rogers, the head of the Armed Services Committee, has come out strongly against the cuts.

You must be focused on maintaining the ascendant position we have had in Europe since Russia started the conflict... Premature withdrawal will lead to further Russian aggression.

Another Republican, Don Bacon, added:

It would be a serious mistake to withdraw troops from Europe right now… Withdrawing troops is a sign of weakness.

Cavoli also supported maintaining American control over NATO's European Command (SACEUR), calling the possible transfer of this role to another country "problematic."

The introduction of peacekeepers into Ukraine. What is being secretly negotiated in Britain?

What plan for Ukraine is Britain discussing?
Source:  The Telegraph

The Telegraph has received information that British leader Keir Starmer's team is currently actively discussing a scenario for deploying its troops in Ukraine for up to 5 years.

Points of attention

  • France and Britain believe that by sending military forces led by European countries to Ukraine, it will deter any aggression from Russia.
  • The deployment aims to assist in training and rebuilding Ukrainian forces, with the confidence that Russian President Putin wouldn't risk attacking Western forces within Ukraine.

What plan for Ukraine is Britain discussing?

Official London aims to ensure that the introduction of peacekeepers will allow the Ukrainian army to be restored and prevent a new Russian invasion.

According to preliminary data, military forces led by European countries will be sent to Ukraine to deter the aggressor country from violating any settlement.

France does not believe that Russian dictator Putin would dare to attack Western forces inside Ukraine when his army is barely capturing a small amount of territory.

As journalists managed to learn, Paris and Britain will also offer assistance in protecting the skies and seas of Ukraine.

The key objective of the deployment will be to immediately assist in training and rebuilding Ukrainian forces to deter another Russian attack. They will then be withdrawn in stages, with the final withdrawal of troops taking place in about five years.
