The U.S. and other nations that have contributed billions of dollars already to support Ukraine as it tries to fend off Russia's nearly-16-month, full-scale invasion, are shifting toward helping to sustain Ukraine's counteroffensive. Top U.S. defense officials warned this week that they expect the fight to be long and come "at a high cost."
Austin attended the contact group meeting in Brussels with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, who said Ukraine's plodding counteroffensive would "likely take a considerable amount of time and at high cost."
Both of the senior U.S. officials expressed optimism about Ukraine's chances in the long-run, but made it clear the country's success would demand continued commitments from, and unity of the international coalition.
"We're moving from a crisis mode to a campaign mode," a Western official involved with coordinating international aid to Ukraine told reporters this week.

That’s too bad - it’s been such a bargain so far.

To hell with them. It is absolutely NOT in the interest of the American people. Period. Full stop.
Sure, let’s put the entire NATO economy on a war footing for a decade while pursuing the Green Nude Deal. That will surely get the West out of stagnation, because Bidet is FDR and Milley is Patton and Eisenhower all rolled into one.
Oh, I nearly forgot. Zelensky is Churchill.
This traitor needs to head off into retirement.
These people are stupid, what do you think Russia is going to do? every day that goes buy the get stronger and stronger producing more weapons adapting to new weapons, tactics, mobilizing more forces...you do know that Russia as over 140 million industrialized population...Ukraine needs to negotiate...before Russia gets to strong and their negotiating position becomes nil(completely defeated)
Why would anyone expect it to be easy.
Where’s the money REALLY going?
There isn’t a single Ukrainian worth a dime of our tax dollars.
I would like to ask this stupid SOB how training these fighters in every tom dick and harry country is going to work?
Some trained in the UK, some in Poland, some in the USA..here, there, and EVERYWHERE!
WTF!?
Good, Then maybe it is time to rescind and abolish the Federal Employee Retirement System and use that money to help your NAZI friends in Ukraine. They can all go on Social Security
Eventually all fighting aged Ukrainians will be dead but the war will still be going on.
Yes, Russia has a population of 140 million but many are far from being “industrialized”. The impoverished Buryats pulling duty in the temporarily occupied Donbas are ignorant and have morale problems.
Just who wants to negotiate away their hometown? Would you want to leave your hometown administered by criminal Russians and Chechens? Liberate Alchevsk !!!
If Russia is rewarded for its criminal invasion with Ukrainian land and resources, it will be a greater threat to all its neighbors. The Russian pigs and apes need to be stopped now.
Translation - We need to launder more $$$ thru Uke-Rain back here. Never waste an opportunity to appropriate funds into a garbage mess that can never be audited after the fact.
