General Dan Caine, a nominee for chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, has supported further military assistance to Ukraine but stressed the need for Europe to increase its share of support.
Source Caine in his answers before the US Senate Committee on Armed Services hearing on 1 April, as reported by European Pravda Details In an assessment of the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine, Caine argues that hostilities will continue in 2025, as Russia views the conflict is in its favour.
The conflict war in 2025 likely will continue to be a war of attrition, with both sides suffering heavy losses of personnel and materiel, the general said.
Speaking about military assistance, Caine stressed that Ukraine has the right to selfdefence, and from this perspective, US aid helps Ukraine to defend itself.
The United States is only a part of the network of states supporting Ukraines defence, and we should focus on what unique capabilities only the US can provide, while Europe increases its share of support, he said.
For reference Caine, 56, is a former F16 fighter pilot who served in Iraq with special operations forces and previously held the position of deputy director for military affairs at the CIA.
General Charles Brown, the previous Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was dismissed by US President Donald Trump in February.
