Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III has said in Brussels that Russia’s latest attacks in Ukraine have shown the “malice and cruelty” of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “war of choice,” and have strengthened the resolve among Ukraine’s allies in their support of Kyiv.
Three men, one in a military uniform, are seated at a table with microphones, with the flags of the United States and Ukraine in the background.
Austin delivered the remarks as he opened a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group with Defense ministers and chiefs of Defense from nearly 50 nations.
