Defense Secretary Austin Affirms Ukraine's Potential Victory Over Russia

Austin emphasizes the importance of global support and warns against isolationism as Ukraine continues its fight.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin insists Ukraine can win the war against Russia, defining victory as maintaining sovereignty and deterring future aggression.
Austin defends the U.S. decision to restrict long-range missiles for Ukraine, citing Ukraine's capability to strike deep into Russian territory using drones.
Concerns about U.S. isolationism are rising, with Austin highlighting the global stakes and the need to support international allies.
Despite criticism, Austin argues that U.S. aid to Ukraine benefits the American industrial base and maintains military readiness.
European NATO members have contributed significantly to Ukraine's defense, with Germany alone committing $31 billion in security assistance.
