To restrain the Russian Federation: the US and Ukraine think about the creation of "Armed Forces of the Future" - Nutland

According to the White House representative, the US will provide weapons to Ukraine even after the war. It is necessary to create a stable air defense system and strong border defense. It is also possible that Kiev will receive ATACMS aircraft and missiles. The US is considering the transfer of weapons for Ukraine not only for the victory of Russia, but also for its further restraint after the end of the fighting.

This was stated by US Deputy Secretary of State for Political Issues Victoria Nutland in an interview with CNN. According to her, Washington and Kiev are already thinking about how the Ukrainian armed forces will look like. "We look not only that Ukraine will need this direct struggle, but we also think with the Ukrainians about the Armed Forces of Ukraine of the future," she said. The official did not specify what US weapons would be given in the near future or in the long run.

However, when journalists asked the transfer of jet aircraft and long -range ATACMS missiles, Nutland suggested that such equipment could be obtained in order to restrain the Russian Federation. The US Deputy Secretary of State stressed that Ukraine will also need to create a strong air defense system and strong border defense to ensure that Moscow will not attack again. "In order to be able to keep Russia from re -invasion, they will have to have a sophisticated stand. .

She also stated that the United States also think that in the event of the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war it did not repeat. After all, one cannot be trusted when Vladimir Putin or someone like him will be in power in Russia. "Therefore, even if a just peace is reached, there should be a long-term plan and the construction of the Ukrainian Armed Forces of the future so that they can restrain any future appetite that Putin may occur," she added.
