In light of the current events in eastern Ukraine, and demonstrated weak spots in Ukrainian defense capabilities:
- Provide immediate and massive non-lethal aid, including MRE's, fuel, trucks, transport aircraft, comm equipment, and body armor.
- Negotiate integration of a significant force of advisers to direct, and provide oversight of, logistical operations of Ukrainian armed forces and other agencies.
Providing this aid will:
- Make Ukrainian army a credible deterrent, thus fulfilling our obligations as guarantors of territorial integrity of Ukraine.
- Sustain US military manufacturing capability, given reduced activity of US military.
- Effectively re-purpose older and surplus equipment.
- Provide US armed forces with valuable experience while avoiding an active confrontation.
