Chief Assistant to the US National Security Advisor Jon Feiner on the White House's strategy for the war in Ukraine for 2024. "We want Russia to be faced with a decision by the end of 2024: either they have to sit down at the negotiating table on terms acceptable to Ukraine which means sovereignty and territorial integrity for all of Ukraine, or they will face a stronger Ukraine, which is backed by defense industrial base of the US and Europe. For Russiathis will be a difficult strategic choice."

1. US "lend-lease" provisions are in the NDAA for Ukraine. That is in conference committee right now. It will pass relatively soon. 2. While the big aid package will be passed soon in the Senate and a House bill will be brought up before Christmas, this will likely delay more aid authorization until January (given the Christmas recess). The amount in the package could theoretically be reduced from $60 billion. Other amendments that pass in the Senate may also have to be hatched out with the House in another conference committee. The NDAA has some UKR aid in it (including long-range ATAKMs in the House bill). 3. The US could in the interim, provide 250 Bradleys, F16s and more M1A1 tanks under lend-lease for the bookvalue on the equipment less decommisioning costs plus shipping. Ukraine could pay back in 15-20 years. No budget impact. No more Congressional authority required when NDAA is approved. 4. Aid will not stop and the amount and nature of the military hardware will be more combat effective the next new batches under any realistic scenario I can think of. 5. The issue is the unnecessary delay. 6. I also predict this will come with a huge Congressional push to declare Ukraine winning is the goal. 7. To aid critics, this is all already audited & tracked and even more oversight controls will be added in the House bill. Europe now provides much more aid than the US. #UkraineAidNow #UkraineMustWin #GOP4Ukraine
