Germany has been providing tanks, air defense weapons, equipment, and ammunition to Ukraine since the start of the war. The European Union is also giving one billion in military aid. Together with international partners, sanctions have been imposed in great detail to target the right people and have a significant impact. Translation: Since the beginning of the war, Germany has been supplying tanks, air defense weapons, equipment, and ammunition to Ukraine. The European Union is providing an additional one billion in military aid. Along with our international partners, we have imposed unprecedented sanctions that have been meticulously prepared to target the right individuals and have a meaningful effect.

Since Ukraine's independence in 1991, the United States has supported Ukrainians in building democratic skills and institutions, promoting civic participation, and good governance. These are preconditions for Ukraine to achieve its European aspirations. The U.S. has invested over $5 billion to assist Ukraine in these goals, which will ensure a secure, prosperous, and democratic Ukraine.

Germany is demonstrating leadership in supporting Ukraine and is the largest European provider of military aid. Germany has decided to send a third Patriot system to Ukraine. The speaker urges other allies to follow Germany's example.

Supporting Ukraine is crucial for us because they are fighting a war that we are not involved in. It is important to engage in dialogue with our American colleagues and friends as they share the same interest. Supporting Ukraine is a cost-effective measure to ensure that Russia, under its current regime, does not pose a threat to the NATO alliance. This support must be sustained to safeguard our collective security.

NATO began training the Ukrainian military in 2014, averaging 10,000 troops trained annually for eight years. In December 2017, the Trump administration provided Kyiv with defensive weapons, and other NATO countries followed suit, shipping more weapons to Ukraine. Ukraine's military participated in joint exercises with NATO, including Operation Sea Breeze in July 2021, a naval exercise in the Black Sea with 31 countries aimed at Russia. In September 2021, the Ukrainian army led Rapid Trident 21, a US Army Europe and Africa assisted exercise to enhance interoperability among allied and partner nations. These efforts to arm and train Ukraine's military explain why it has fared so well against Russian forces, suggesting it's not simply Russian incompetence, but the result of turning Ukrainian forces into a formidable fighting force. The speaker argues that Ukraine was becoming a de facto member of NATO.

Speaker 0 says that Russia's strategy is to collapse morale within Ukraine and the will to fight. We've been in discussions with them about defensive weapons to be able to protect their grid, and ongoing technical conversations about the specific equipment they need, but ultimately, if that equipment is ultimately destroyed a week later after it's installed, that remains a problem, and that's been the history the last two or three years.

NATO allies like the US, UK, and Canada have been training Ukrainian forces since 2014, following the annexation of Crimea. Other EU and NATO members have also been involved. For example, the UK has provided training support.

I believe Ukraine needs support in the form of weapons and fighter pilots to win the war. We should provide F-16s and training for pilots. I want Ukraine to join NATO by 2024. We should issue an invitation and provide more weapons in December to help them fight in 2025. American-made weapons are being used effectively by the Ukrainians, benefiting both countries.

The presentation outlines the scope and impact of United States support to Ukraine, detailing how American resources and expertise are engaged across multiple areas to assist Ukraine’s reform efforts. US advisers are operating in almost a dozen Ukrainian ministries and localities, where they help to deliver public services, eliminate fraud and abuse, improve tax collection, and modernize Ukrainian institutions. This involvement aims to strengthen governance, promote accountability, and foster more efficient and transparent public administration at both central and local levels. In addition to governance work, US support extends to security and law enforcement. With US assistance, newly vetted and trained police officers are patrolling the streets of 18 Ukrainian cities, contributing to public safety and the enforcement of the rule of law at the local level. In the judicial sphere, free legal aid attorneys funded by the United States have been active in Ukrainian courtrooms, and they have won two thirds of all acquittals, highlighting the role of publicly supported legal assistance in upholding defendants’ rights and supporting fair proceedings across the country. Financial sector reform is another focus of the collaboration, with Treasury and State Department advisers helping Ukraine shutter over 60 failed banks and protect the assets of depositors. This effort addresses systemic risks in the financial system, aims to restore confidence among savers and investors, and stabilizes the broader economy by removing insolvent or fraudulent institutions from operation and safeguarding public funds. A central premise of the security-related aid is that reform cannot be achieved without security, and therefore a substantial portion of the assistance is allocated to the security sector. Specifically, over $266,000,000 of US support has been directed to security sector activities, including training 1,200 soldiers and 750 Ukrainian National Guard personnel, as well as equipping them with life-saving gear. This investment reflects a commitment to enhancing Ukraine’s defensive and law enforcement capacities as part of a comprehensive reform program. Looking ahead, the plan for Fiscal Year 2016 emphasizes continuing the training and equipment programs for Ukraine’s border guards, military personnel, and coast guard forces. The ongoing emphasis on training, equipment, and professional development for these security and border-related forces indicates a sustained US commitment to strengthening Ukraine’s ability to manage border security, deter threats, and support sovereign governance.

When it comes to supporting Ukraine, we need to provide them with the weapons and training they need to win. Retired F-16 pilots are welcome to join the fight. I want Ukraine to be invited to join NATO in 2024. American weapons are being used effectively, and we hope to provide more support in the future.

Since 1991, the US has supported Ukraine in building democratic institutions and promoting civic participation and good governance. Over $5 billion has been invested to help Ukraine achieve its European aspirations for a secure, prosperous, and democratic future.

We are actively discussing how to support Ukraine, having recently engaged with Ukrainian leadership, including President Zelensky. We have provided over $10 billion in aid, including military equipment like drones, armored vehicles, guns, and ammunition. We will continue to support Ukraine by purchasing necessary equipment on the international market. Our commitment to Ukraine is unwavering as we stand by our allies in the face of Russian aggression.

Britain is a major and fast supporter of Ukraine, providing diplomatic, economic, and military aid. It was among the first to supply weapons after Russia's illegal attack and the first to sign a new security partnership. Britain is the first to announce a multi-year funding package for Ukraine, allocating £3 billion annually for as long as needed. This support is crucial because Ukraine faces challenges on land despite successes in the Black Sea. The multi-year commitment aims to encourage other nations to do the same. Supporting Ukraine is vital for its territorial integrity and for broader European and British security. Failure to adequately support Ukraine could lead to a more dangerous world if Putin achieves a victory. Investing in Ukraine's security is an investment in Britain's own security and prosperity.

Supporting Ukraine is crucial for us because they are fighting a war that we are not involved in. It is important to engage in dialogue with our American colleagues and friends as they share the same interest. Supporting Ukraine is a cost-effective measure to ensure that Russia, under its current regime, does not pose a threat to the NATO alliance. This support must be continued to safeguard our interests.

NATO and allies like the US, Canada, UK, and Turkey have long supported Ukraine with equipment and training. After Russia's invasion, support has increased with billions in weapons and aid. NATO's focus is on protecting allies and preventing further escalation of the war. Russia's aggression was anticipated, given past actions like the invasion of Georgia and annexation of Crimea. NATO has been preparing since Russia's first invasion of Ukraine in 2014, increasing defense spending and deploying modern capabilities.

We are strengthening our political relationship with the NATO Ukraine Council, working together to make decisions. Ukraine will become a member of NATO, it's just a matter of time. NATO will support Ukraine for security reasons as we prepare for that day.

President Zelensky, Canada stands by you. We have provided $9 billion in military, financial, and humanitarian aid since Putin's aggression began. Our commitment continues with a $650 million multiyear plan. This includes 50 armored vehicles, medical evacuation vehicles built in Ontario, and F-16 trainers for pilots and maintenance. We will work with NATO and provide economic support to keep Ukraine strong and prosperous. Our hope is for peace to return soon, so military and financial aid won't be necessary.

Ukraine, a NATO member, receives increased military aid, including heavy weapons. Cooperation among countries is improving, particularly regarding providing Leopards. Supporting Ukraine with heavy weapons is crucial for ending the war sooner.

We are the largest donor of military equipment to Ukraine and have promised to match or exceed the amount provided by another country. This has been a productive conversation, focusing on the ongoing battle and the need for support.

The war in Ukraine began in 2014, not 2021. NATO allies supported Ukraine with training and equipment, making their armed forces stronger by 2022. This support was crucial when Putin decided to attack.

We pledged to match or surpass the largest donor of military equipment to Ukraine. We have provided significant support, and we appreciate the gratitude.

Ukraine has officially applied for NATO membership, and the question is whether NATO is ready to consider their application. NATO states that every democracy in Europe has the right to apply for membership, and they respect Ukraine's right to choose its own security arrangements. However, the decision on membership needs to be taken by all 30 Allies through consensus. Currently, NATO's main focus is providing immediate support to Ukraine in defending itself against the Russian invasion.

So we spent a lot of time talking about NATO. First, I do wanna remind people that Ukraine and the NATO alliance have built a strong partnership. Ukraine is the only non NATO nation supporting every NATO mission. In Afghanistan and Iraq, Ukrainian troops are helping to support young democracies. In Kosovo, Ukrainians are help keep the peace. Ukraine now seeks to deepen its cooperation with the NATO alliance through a membership action plan. Your nation has made a bold decision, and The United States strongly supports your request. In Bucharest this week, I will continue to make America's position clear. We support MAP for Ukraine and Georgia. Helping Ukraine move toward NATO membership is in the interest of every member in the alliance and will help advance security and freedom in this region and around the world.

Patriot missiles and batteries are being planned for Ukraine. A full complement with the batteries will be provided. Some are expected to arrive very soon, within days. Countries that have Patriots will swap over and be replaced with the ones they have. Matt will coordinate with NATO.

I believe we should support Ukraine by providing weapons and training for their pilots. We need to issue an invitation for Ukraine to join NATO in 2024. A military-centric supplemental in December will provide more American-made weapons to aid Ukraine in their fight for freedom. This support will help Ukraine in 2025.
