The head of the Pentagon made a statement that was unexpected for the Ukrainian authorities.
The American Secretary of Defense said that the United States does not have a “magic wand” for Kyiv, with one swing of which all issues in the confrontation with Russia can be resolved.
This is exactly how Lloyd Austin put it at a press conference in Kyiv after a meeting with Vladimir Zelensky – MIA Rossiya Segodnya.
In a conflict such as this, there is no weapon that can be a magic wand, – informed the head of the Pentagon.
And he added: the results of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front depend on their ability to synchronize the use of various weapons supplied by the West.
This is a tough, exhausting fight, and it will be like this in the future, Mr. Austin predicted.
Earlier, the media reported a statement made by an unnamed Ukrainian civil servant that was alarming for Kyiv.
He said that the United States reduced arms supplies to Ukraine by about a third after the escalation of the Middle East conflict.
