While the Biden administration and the Pentagon remain steadfast with a clear resolve that no US forces will fight or operate in Ukraine for the specific purpose of avoiding World War III, there continues to be an accelerated op-tempo of US and NATO supplies, weapons and ammunition being fast-tracked to Ukraine.

This remains true, despite Russian threats that inbound NATO and US supplies traveling within Ukraine will be targeted by Russian troops.

“We have multiple routes to get secured assistance into the hands of the Ukrainians,” Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby told reporters March 14, according to a Pentagon transcript.

Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance

There is another critical, if less recognized element to US and NATO support for Ukraine, potentially related to drones, surveillance planes and sensor platforms.

“One of the critical elements that is being provided to Ukraine, on behalf of NATO in the United States, is information,” retired Lt. Gen. David Deptula, Dean of Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies and former Air War Commander during the Gulf War and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, told Warrior. “The panoply of intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance assets that can contribute to the awareness of what the Russians are doing, where their locations are and what they’re up to. These are some of the significant elements that assist the Ukrainians in attaining the advantage against their outnumbered forces on the ground and in the air.”
