On May 2, Forward Defense senior Air Force fellow Lt Col Tyson Wetzel was quoted in an article in the Euromaidan Press titled “12 reasons why the West should arm Ukraine, now!” Wetzel asserts that the revived lend-lease program to send weapons and aid to Ukraine shows continued US commitment to Ukraine.

Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
