CIA Director Bill Burns recently traveled to Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and discuss the US’ expectations for Russia’s battlefield planning in the spring. The US is debating the merits of sending increasingly sophisticated and long-range weaponry to Ukraine, which will have a major impact on the Ukrainian forces’ ability to launch a successful counteroffensive against Russian forces in the coming months. The meeting is a sign of the US’ continued commitment to Ukraine’s defense.
