They are putting huge resources for the sake of those pieces of land that they are seizing. My colleagues, as well as the Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine, are confident that they will be able to defend their homeland in the future. Yes, they need ammunition, they need help to continue their defense," Austin said.
Austin notedthat the Pentagon will hope that another aid package for Ukraine will be adopted soon.
