General: 'Pentagon will continue to be able to support Ukraine'

"We are confident that we will continue to be able to support Ukraine for as long as it takes. And we're confident that we'll be able to continue to maintain the readiness levels that are vital to defending our nation," Pentagon Press Secretary Brigadier General Patrick Ryder told a briefing, Report informs, citing the US Department of Defense.

"As we work with our partners to identify the specific capabilities, the specific systems, among the capabilities that we have, there's going to be a variety of factors that are taken into account to ensure that we can continue to support Ukraine while at the same time ensuring that we maintain our own readiness and our own stocks. I would say it's one of our great strategic strengths as a coalition that we do have such a large defense in a number of defense industrial bases to draw upon, as well as a motivated defense industrial base that wants to help us in that regard," he added.
