Former Defense Secretary and CIA Director Robert Gates and former Secretary of State and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice in an op-ed piece for the Washington Post urge the Biden administration to “urgently provide Ukraine with a dramatic increase in military supplies and capability--sufficient to deter a renewed Russian offensive and to enable Ukraine to push back Russian forces in the east and south.” They also urge our NATO allies to “provide Ukrainians with longer-range missiles, advanced drones, significant ammunition stocks (including artillery shells), more reconnaissance and surveillance capability, and other equipment.” If we don’t help Ukraine defeat Putin, they say, eventually U.S. security will be threatened. Ukraine, they contend, is fighting our “proxy war” against Russia.
