Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) said during a Tuesday hearing that if the United States did not give Ukraine more money, American boots on the ground in Europe could become an inevitability — and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin agreed with him.
“In one sense, this comes down to a choice between lending them [the Ukrainians] the tools to do the job, or seeing young Americans facing combat [in Europe],” Reed said, according to CNN’s Haley Britzky.
“I agree, Senator,” Austin replied.
