If done properly, he said, this would make Europe stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking about Ukraine&#8217;s current position, Austin said that more than three years into the war the country remained sovereign, continued to make its own decisions, and had preserved its democracy. He added that the United States and its partners wanted Ukraine to remain a democracy with the means to defend itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also stressed that Russian leader Vladimir Putin had so far failed to achieve any significant tactical or operational objectives, noting that in virtually all cases he had been unable to accomplish what he set out to do. Austin said this demonstrated both the will of the Ukrainian people and the determined support of Western nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/zelenskyy-russia-tests-how-far-it-can-go-with-drone-attacks\/\">Zelenskyy: Russia tests how far it can go with drone attacks<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has said he believes NATO &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":1227013,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,36415,36422],"tags":[76,78],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1227012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en","category-11473-news-en-3","tag-glavnoe-en","tag-homepage-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
