Lieutenant General Alexus Grynkewich, nominated by President Donald Trump to become the Supreme Allied Commander Europe and lead U.S. and NATO forces in Europe, expressed confidence that Ukraine can win the war against Russia. During his Senate confirmation hearing, Grynkewich stated that when a homeland is threatened, people fight with a determination that is difficult to fully comprehend unless experienced firsthand. Grynkewich, a former F-16 and F-22 pilot currently serving on the Joint Staff, emphasized Ukraine's tenacity in defending its territory.

His nomination continues a pattern among recent U.S. generals in charge of the European Command who have shared a belief in Ukraine's potential to prevail over Russian forces. Grynkewich's great-grandfather fled Russian-occupied Belarus in 1899, adding a personal historical connection to the region. The nomination reflects ongoing U.S. military support for Ukraine amid the conflict with Russia.
