Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin spoke with new Ukrainian Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov on Monday for the first time since the latter assumed his position earlier this month.
"Secretary Austin provided an update on U.S. security assistance efforts and exchanged views with Minister Umerov on priorities to support Ukraine’s immediate battlefield needs and capability requirements over the long term," the Pentagon said in a readout of the call.Umerov took over for former Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov, who had been in the position since November 2021.
A likely topic of discussion will be whether the U.S. will send Ukraine long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems, which the Biden administration has repeatedly declined to do.
