US And Other 50 Nations To Fight Russia Over Ukraine Invasion
Putin’s potential victory celebration will not be soon after US convened a 50 Nation Ukraine Defence Contact Group. The 50 Nations which include France, Sweden, Germany and other European nations will coordinate military aids for Ukraine. The gathering of the nations is hosted by Germany, which marked the first time such a physical meeting is being held.
US is leading the charge to making sure Russia don’t succeed in its war against Ukraine. It’s a remarkable step in the United States quest to frustrate Russia’s war in Ukraine. Back home, Joe Biden is facing a strong opposition that is playing into the gallery for Russia. The opposition stems from Republicans refusal to approve military aid package for Ukraine.
The Republican controlled House has deeply politicised Ukrainian military aid, insisting on differentiating it from Israeli military aid after Joe Biden collectively presented the external military aid of US for the House approval. The Republican controlled House has hinged approval of the aid package to favorable Southern boarder deal. A deal that would arm-twist Joe Biden’s boarder/immigration policies.
The Republican party argues that the Russia-Ukraine war Biden’s international policies triggered is not a primary problem for United States and should not be executed with US tax payers money. On the other hand, Joe Biden’s party sees Putin’s vctory as a massive blow to US who needed to maintain security guarantees for its allies.
Speaking in the gathering of the 50 nations against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, United States Secretary of Defence said Ukraine needs air defence system and more attack weapons. He cited the fundamental military requirements needed for Ukraine to defend its territory against the invading Russia.
“Russia has paid a staggering cost” Lloyd Austin said of Putin’s military and financial investment into the war. Putin had thought the war would be a walk in the park that would end within a twinkle of an eye, but more than two years on, billions of Dollars are being pushed into execution of the war. And Russia losing troops, with skirmishes back home by wives of troops on battlefield.
Austin spoke about the sacrifices of the Ukrainian civilians who have faced steady barrage of rockets and missiles raining on them. He also technically accused Iran of being complicit in the war by noting “Iranian drones” are also being used against the Ukrainian civilians. Of Ukrainian Defence Forces, he said “Ukrainian troops face hard conditions and hard fighting”
Austin established that the purpose of the gathering of the 50 nations is to ensure Ukraine is not defeated “Ukraine won’t back down, and neither will the United States”
Securing the support of 50 nations against Russia is a remarkable feat and a relief from the Ukraine support conundrum at home. The 50 nations will discuss ways to rearm Ukraine with mainly air defence system and ensure reinforcement of Ukrainian arms.
The role of the 50 nations is fundamentally on logistics and intelligence. They didn’t discuss physical involvement, which means sending troops.
Austin retaliated the initial pledge of the United States to the nations, promising that “The United States will not let Ukraine fail. The coalition will not let Ukraine fail. And the free world will not let Ukraine fail”
The United States Defence Secretary further appreciated the coordination of defence aid packages being championed by Germany Czech Republic, Denmark, France and Denmark. He said it was a proper and just investment against Russian aggression.
