This Helsinki Commission Hearing examines how, to enable Ukrainian progress in the near- to medium-term, Western military aid must be purposeful and tied to a concrete and actionable theory of Ukrainian victory. The hearing features key experts on Ukraine and its defensive needs, ongoing battlefield dynamics, and policy recommendations to inform the development of future military aid packages.
Long range munitions can destroy key Russian offensive capabilities and disrupt its sustainment infrastructure; multi-layered air defense can protect Ukrainian cities and deny Russia the air dominance their forces depend upon; and targeted Ukrainian attacks against Russian military targets in occupied Ukraine, and in Russia itself, can help degrade the Russian war economy and boost Ukrainian morale.
With a military unable to compete with Ukrainian defenders on equal footing on the battlefield, Russian forces have resorted to employing overwhelming mass of men and materiel, sustained in large part with munitions, drones, and technological inputs from Iran, North Korea, and China. To counteract these Russian advantages, Western aid should not only allow Ukrainian forces to hold the line, but to degrade and destroy fixed Russian positions, enable offensive operations, and effect general exhaustion and collapse among Russian units.

Herbst is senior director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center and served for thirty-one years as a foreign service officer in the US Department of State, retiring at the rank of career minister.

“Of course we have the resources to do it, it’s a matter of political will.”
Europe’s combined economy is 10 times the size of Russia’s and could support Ukraine as much as America if Trump “pulls the rug out” from under Zelensky, says Timothy Garton Ash, professor of European studies at the University of Oxford.
The Kremlin has denied that a phone call took place between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, claiming an article reporting it "does not correspond at all to reality".
Over the weekend, the Washington Post reported that the US president-elect had already spoken to Putin.
The article claimed Trump had urged the Russian leader not to further escalate the war in Ukraine.
During his election campaign, Trump declined to specify how he would end the war between Russia and Ukraine in a day - but it could involve imposing a deal on both sides.
