US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin praised the Ukrainian army for effectively resisting the Russian invasion. In his opinion, the Ukrainian struggle will go down in military history.. At the same time, he recalled all the atrocities of the Russian military on Ukrainian territory..

Newsweek writes about this, recalling that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been defending themselves against the numerically larger Russian army for more than two months.. Although before the start of the Russian invasion, many experts expected Ukrainian forces to be quickly defeated.

“Ukrainian hospitals are being bombed. The inhabitants of the country are executed. Children get hurt. But despite this, the Ukrainians have done an extraordinary job defending their sovereignty.. Ukrainian valor and skill will go down in military history,” says Austin.

His new comment is in line with what he said recently in Germany after a meeting of representatives of 40 allied countries at the Ramstein base.

“You know, the battle for the island of Ioto lasted 36 days. The Arden operation lasted 40 days. And Ukraine has been repelling the invasion of the Russian army for 62 days,” he said on Tuesday..

The US Secretary of Defense stressed that the Ukrainian resistance " And the United States and other countries will provide Kyiv with assistance " At the same time, Austin promised that this would happen " Newsweek admits Ukraine's defense has exceeded many's expectations.

Shortly before the start of the Russian invasion, three US officials said they thought Kyiv would fall " And the Ukrainian government will be overthrown " However, the Ukrainian struggle continues.

During a visit to Kyiv, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced a new military aid package for Ukraine and the appointment of a new US ambassador to Ukraine. Russia is so outraged by the fact that Americans support Ukraine that the Russian Foreign Ministry sent a note of protest about this.
