US military lists weapons for the support of Ukraine

The highest US military commander in Europe has created a list of weapons systems that have the United States and could support Ukraine in the fight against Russia. This information was collected as part of a secret report on the Ukraine strategy of the Biden Administration, which was presented to the congress at the beginning of the last month. According to people who are familiar with the report, General Chris Cavoli outlines the US skills that could help the Ukrainian army to fight more effectively.

important weapons systems for Ukraine

The list includes the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, a kind of air-started cruise missile, as well as a communication system known as a link 16. This data exchange network used by the USA and NATO should enable seamless communication between the combat systems and is particularly useful for command and control of air and rocket defense. Ukraine has repeatedly requested both systems, as another source confirmed.

challenges in the support

Cavoli's list does not respond to why the USA, which it considers to be valuable, have not yet provided. However, US officials expressed concerns that sensitive US technology could fall into Russian hands. This could be a reason for the delay in providing the Link 16 system. It was also noted that the air-floor missiles for Ukraine may not be useful as long as they do not achieve certain air sovereignty.

future support and uncertainties

Almost three years after the beginning of the war, Ukraine continues to ask the United States for more advanced weapons and demands that the restrictions on the use of delivered long -range missile systems. With the upcoming US presidential election less than a month away, the future of US support for Ukraine is uncertain, even if it is assured that the United States wants to ensure that Ukraine will have the necessary support by the end of 2025.

Zelensky's strategies and suggestions

The Ukrainian government continues to work intensively for support. At a meeting with President Joe Biden in the White House, President Volodymyr Zelensky did not carry a detailed list of weapons, but of destinations within Russia, which he would like to attack with long -range missiles provided by the USA, known as ATACMS. This list belongs to Zelensky's "victory plan" for the war. While Biden was not entirely rejecting the application, he ultimately did not make any commitments.

long-term strategies and NATO help

The leading politicians agreed to continue to discuss the topic. However, it is unlikely that the United States will change its policies regarding long -range missiles. US officials emphasize that they give Ukraine everything that the military considers necessary. According to the officials, the limited amount of long-distance Atacms is better to use against destinations in the Crimea. Ukraine has already carried out several successful attacks deep in Russia and has used its own long -distance roar, which actually have a much greater range than the ATACMs.

Russia's entire military situation

officials have also noted that Russia has already brought some of its most valuable goals outside the reach of the 180 miles of ATACMs. However, the Ukrainians argue that there are enough Russian assets within reach that represent strategic goals, including military bases and production facilities.

the look into the future

To ensure that the securityaid does not suffer from the possible return of Donald Trump to the presidential office, the United States and its allies work on solutions so that Ukraine receives the necessary support by the end of 2025. NATO has set up its own mechanism to facilitate help and military training, the implementation of which began in July. The Pentagon is also planning to commission private American companies to support equipment and logistics in Ukraine to ensure that the weapons and equipment of Ukraine work at crucial moments.

important developments in 2025

The United States generally hope that 2025 will be a turning point for Russia's ability to maintain its war effort. Russia has lost hundreds of thousands of fighters in almost three years. In order to make major progress on the battlefield, President Vladimir Putin probably has to order politically risky troop mobilization. US officials and independent analysts indicate that there are some signs that the Russian economy could show signs of stress at the end of the year.

final thoughts on the Ukraine strategy

critics argue that the administration plan for victory in Ukraine remains unclear. According to a source that has read the report, the secret strategy, which was presented to the congress, defines victory only in vague terms of Ukrainian sovereignty and self -determination. Another classified appendix offers criteria for an assessment of success such as recessed areas, but does not provide any specific benchmarks.

The situation on the battlefield remains dynamic. Russia is slowly making progress in the east of the country, which is priority by officials as Putin's priority. In addition, Ukraine took a large area in Russia at the beginning of the year, which is currently holding, which sees some officials as a potential overstretching of Kiev forces on the front lines in the east.
