According to the Wall Street Journal, the US administration is considering strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities, including increasing the supply of military equipment, especially air defense systems. This option also includes tougher sanctions against the Russian Federation.
Another possible plan of action, as the newspaper writes, involves “reducing the risk of confrontation with Moscow, by limiting the number of US military exercises in Europe.”
“These exercises continue to provoke criticism from the Russian Federation. The action plan also includes the suspension of US military aid to Kiev,” the article said.
On November 23, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that US Air Force strategic bombers practiced a possible nuclear strike on Russia this November. According to him, in general, in November, the Russian military recorded a significant increase in the activity of US aircraft in the vicinity of the country's borders. Earlier, there was information that the US was discussing the possibility of sending military advisers and weapons to Ukraine in the context of the Russian military being said to be concentrated near the border./.
