US to Provide Bradleys to Ukraine

‘Dozens’ of IFVs to Bolster Combat Capabilities

Washington is to deliver Bradley IFVs to Ukraine in the near future, the DoD confirmed on 5 January.

Pentagon Press Secretary, Brig-Gen Pat Ryder, said the Bradleys are part of a larger shipment of equipment to Ukraine that will be announced later, stating they offer “a level of firepower and armor that will bring advantages on the battlefield as the Ukrainian military continues to defend [its] homeland.

Since Russia’s invasion in February, the United States and partner nations have supplied the Ukrainian military with the capabilities it needs to turn back the invaders, including anti-armour and air defence systems, armoured vehicles, ammunition, supplies and much, much more. Ukrainian soldiers need to learn how to use and maintain the vehicles: Ryder said this will be part of the training that Ukrainian soldiers receive from US and partner nations.

Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a ceasefire to celebrate Orthodox Christmas, Jan. 7, but there is scepticism about the Russians honouring the ceasefire. “Understandably, I think that there’s significant skepticism both here in the US and around the world right now, given Russia’s long track record of propaganda, disinformation and its relentless attacks against Ukrainian cities and civilians,” Ryder observed. “If Russia was truly interested in ceasing the violence and the bloodshed that they have brought to Ukraine’s people, they would pull out of Ukraine immediately […] Russia seems to be pretty good at exporting violence; they don’t seem to be [so] good at exporting the truth.
