- The US military wants Ukraine to hold out against Russia until 2025, per The New York Times.
- By then, Ukraine should have produced enough weapons to represent a serious threat, per the outlet.
- This could bring Russia closer to negotiating peace, the NYT report suggested.
The US has a game plan for the Ukraine war which rests on Kyiv holding out against Russia until 2025, according to a report by The New York Times.
This “hold-and-build” strategy could allow Ukraine to step up its domestic arms production capabilities next year to produce more long-range drones and missiles, the Times reported.
With enough weapons, some in the US military think that Ukraine’s army could bring Russia to the negotiating table at the end of 2024 or in 2025, the report said.
US funding for Ukraine is running out, with about $4.4 billion left in support from Defense Department inventories, Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder confirmed last week.
