Several prominent figures, including former U.S. ambassador Michael McFaul, experts, and organizations, emphasize the importance of supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. They argue that aiding Ukraine in defeating Russia is crucial for U.S. national security interests. The support is seen as a means to diminish the threat from Russia, reduce spending on European defense, and decrease the number of soldiers deployed to NATO bases in the Baltics. The urgency to equip Ukraine with necessary weapons and maintain aid until the war is won is stressed, with warnings that halting aid abruptly would have dire consequences, emboldening Russia and impacting NATO's security.
Stopping aid to Ukraine so abruptly will not only lead to poor battlefield outcomes. It will reward and embolden a brutish Russia with direct consequences for NATO’s security. https://t.co/OVGWz4oU0C

"There is no national security issue that is more important for American security than arming Ukraine until the war is won. What we can’t afford is to let political stupidity and toxicity strangle Ukraine." We must do more to help Ukraine defeat Russia: https://t.co/DKePu8RGQb https://t.co/Fn4Cn7c00B
It is in the interest of Americans to equip Ukraine with the weapons it needs- and at the tempo it needs- to defend itself against our shared adversary— Russia. Glad to speak w/ @rustem_umerov at @HudsonInstitute about the status of Ukraine’s war effort. https://t.co/AVqWx0jSxg

U.S. security interests in helping Ukraine defeat Russia are clear. (1) A Ukrainian victory will dramatically diminish the threat from Russia, allowing us to spend less on European defense and send fewer soldiers to NATO bases in the Baltics; THREAD 1/
