US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that the future of Europe, NATO and America's security depend on Ukraine's struggle for freedom, which will create a trajectory of global security, UNN reports.

This struggle imposes certain obligations on all of us. As President Biden said at the UN in September, our test is to ensure that the forces that unite us are stronger than those that divide us. The outcome of Ukraine's struggle for its freedom will shape the trajectory of global security. The future of Europe is now at stake. NATO's forces are now at stake. And America's security is also at stake 

- Austin said.
