US EditionExpert on Ukraine Aid Reduction: Russia Will Fight to the End
- U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told lawmakers on June 10 that the next fiscal year's budget will reduce military aid to Ukraine amid ongoing conflict.
- The reduction follows the U.S. pivot toward the Indo-Pacific to address the strategic threat from China while supporting Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.
- Ukraine has relied heavily on U.S. aid exceeding $66 billion, including ammunition and air defense systems crucial for countering increasing Russian attacks and drone strikes.
- Hegseth highlighted that the current administration approaches the Ukraine conflict in a markedly different way, while Ukrainian officials cautioned that reductions in aid could result in increased casualties and encourage further Russian aggression.
- The budget cuts suggest a reevaluation of priorities amid global security challenges and could weaken Ukraine's ability to defend itself as Russia intensifies attacks.
