The United States has been “quite cautious” in the support they have given Ukraine, according to former British commander Richard Kemp.
He said the US has waited until almost the “last possible moment” to provide the key equipment Ukraine needs.
“Obviously, President Biden is mindful of those people who don’t want to support Ukraine, or don’t feel it is the US’ job to be doing so,” Mr Kemp told Sky News Australia. “I think while the current administration continues in Washington, we will see a continued level of support.”

Ukraine’s fighting ‘spirit’ plays major role in war against Russia: Richard KempFormer British commander Richard Kemp says the Ukrainian soldiers’ morale to fight plays a major part in the war, but the army needs greater military support in order to succeed. “You can have all the equipment you want, you can have all the ammunition you want, you can have all the tanks you want, but if you don’t have the fighting spirit to use them and go above and beyond, even at times when you know there is a very good chance you will die, then you are not going to do as well as the side who has that,” he told Sky News Australia. “On the one hand, we got Ukraine that does have that spirit, they are fighting for their lives, they are fighting for their men and women to their left and right. “The Russians on the other hand, they don’t really know what they are fighting for in many cases, they are just sent there.”

No chance for a ‘negotiated peace’ between Ukraine and RussiaFormer British commander Richard Kemp claims peace between Russia and Ukraine will only come from a decision on the battlefield, with one side winning the war. Mr Kemp said he doesn’t see any chance of a negotiated peace because both sides are “so far apart”. “Putin can’t possibly, let’s say, return to the pre-February 2022 lines in which he started the invasion,” he told Sky News Australia. “He can’t do that - he has lost so much of Russia, so many people killed, so much economic damage, so much isolation in the world; he has hugely damaged Russia, he has got to have something to show for it. “And on the other hand, Ukraine, President Zelensky has made it very clear he is not going to submit to Russia and is not going to assign to them any land they have taken in this war.”
