Defense leaders testifying on Capitol Hill last week said the U.S. is prepared to support Ukraine for as long as needed.<\/p>\n<p>NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg echoed that sentiment on Monday, as the alliance&#8217;s foreign ministers were preparing to meet in Brussels. The ministers on Tuesday &#8220;will discuss how we can step up our support, including by continuing to strengthen Ukraine&#8217;s armed forces,&#8221; Stoltenberg said. &#8220;Our support is for the long haul.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The White House said last week that it has new evidence that Russia is looking again to North Korea for weapons as it also prepares for a spring offensive. Russia would provide Pyongyang with needed food and other commodities in return.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. officials also are concerned that the president of Belarus has warned that Russian strategic nuclear weapons might be deployed in his country, along with part of Moscow&#8217;s tactical nuclear arsenal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Associated press provides the balance of the story <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ukraine-russia-war-security-aid-billions-e02b957dc15fcb1004bf54a2232c1f5e\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ukrainians are about to receive additional funding from the U.S. as they continue to prepare &hellip; <a title=\"The U.S. to provide Ukraine with $2.6 billion worth of military aid\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=139638\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The U.S. to provide Ukraine with $2.6 billion worth of military aid<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84,384,640],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-139638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-military-issues","category-russia","category-ukraine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=139638"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139638\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=139638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=139638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=139638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
