US allows defense officers in Ukraine: a turning point!

Ukraine - A dramatic turning point in the Ukraine conflict! The United States now allow a small group of American defense workers to work in Ukraine to wait and repair Pentagon weapons. This decision comes at a critical time, while Russia continues to penetrate the Ukrainian territory. So far, the US government has been careful not to be involved in a direct conflict with Russia, but now the need to optimize military support is becoming increasingly clear.

President Joe Biden met this significant political turn shortly before he left the office in January 2024. He plans to send billions of dollars from security support to Ukraine before Donald Trump takes over the presidency on January 20. Trump has already criticized and promised the amount of the US military and financial aid for Ukraine to end the war quickly- but without explaining how he wants to achieve this.

The Pentagon decision enables the contractors to focus on the maintenance of highly complex systems such as F-16 fight jets and patriot air defense systems. These systems require technical knowledge, and the use of contractors is intended to ensure that the weapons are quickly repaired so that the Ukrainian armed forces can continue to use them in combat. So far, repairs have often been slowed down by the strict regulations, which meant that many damaged devices could not be used.

The number of contractors will be small and they will work far from the front lines. They will not be involved directly in fighting, and the companies are responsible for the security of their employees. This loosening of the regulations brings Pentagon policy into harmony with the Foreign Ministry and the US Agency for International Development, which already has US operators in Ukraine. However, it remains to be seen how sustainable this change in policy will be, given the short time until Trump took office.
