The US intends to provide USD 19M to bolster Ukraine’s military operation, which pro-Kiev authorities conduct against militias in the southeastern regions of the country.
Pentagon Press Secretary Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby announced the Obama administration has asked Congress for authority to spend USD 19M next year to train and equip Ukrainian National Guard forces to build capacity for internal defense.
American support to Ukraine will remain non-lethal, Kirby stressed. “We are not assisting them with issues of targeting. We continue to review requests for military assistance from the government of Ukraine through an interagency process,” he said, as cited by the US Department of Defense.
Kirby emphasized that there will not be a military solution to the issues in Ukraine.
