Actions Of UCG Will Deter Other "Would-Be Aggressors"

General C.Q. Brown, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, speaking alongside US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin at the Pentagon, has told reporters that the actions of the Ukraine Contact Group (UCG) - allies of Ukraine who met virtually today -, "show other would-be aggressors that we will defend the international order together."
  • Brown says: "Our support for Ukraine is not merely an act of solidarity. It is a strategic necessity that reinforces broader international security. If unchecked, Russian aggression could embolden other authoritarian regimes to challenge international norms and violate the sovereignty of their neighbours."
  • Austin said the UCG heard directly from Ukraine’s defence leaders on the new Russian offensive around Kharkiv. Austin says: "Ukraine’s defenders are in a hard fight… Putin is betting that eventually Ukraine will fold… but he is wrong. We spent a lot of time on air defence systems… and will continue to push that Ukraine can own its skies.”
  • Austin sidesteps a question on whether the US should approve Ukrainian strikes within Russia: "Their focus should be on the close fight and servicing those targets that will enable success in the close fight." Brown says he is "confident" that Ukraine has not used long-range US weapons within Russia.
  • Separately, Austin says the death of Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi in an air accident yesterday hasn't provoked any change in US force posture and he "doesn't see any broader regional security impacts at this point in time." He later stresses that the US played "no part" in the helicopter crash.
