The US is preparing to support Ukraine’s military in both the medium and long term.

 According to CNN, the efforts are being led by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley and would build on the billions of dollars in military aid the US has already given Ukraine. An analysis is being conducted in conjunction with the Ukrainian government. If approved by President Biden, it could lead to years of future arms sales and the establishing of a long-term US military training program. It will be presented to Kyiv as an assessment but will provide a clear road map showing how the US believes Ukraine should develop its military. The senior defense official said that the analysis is expected to come together in the next month or two, emphasizing that Ukraine’s views will be central to the final product. The initial effort could lead to recommendations for weapons and training, depending on the military strategy Ukraine approves.
