The U.S. has so far resisted issuing an immediate invitation for Ukraine to join the alliance, along with another top priority for Kyiv: the permission to fire Western weapons deep into Russian territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZelenskyyUa\/status\/1848356717899162099\" target=\"_blank\">In a social media post after the meeting with Austin<\/a>, Zelenskyy said that the two discussed air defense and \u201cthe expansion of long-range weapon use against Russian military targets.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2024\/10\/16\/white-house-approves-425-million-in-new-ukraine-aid\/\" target=\"_blank\">In a $425 million package announced last week<\/a>, the White House committed to sending \u201chundreds\u201d of vital air defense interceptors in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite such support, Zelenskyy\u2019s proposal is a sign of how Ukraine views the state of the war. The Ukrainian president still publicly calls for regaining all territory lost to Russia, going back to the 2014 seizure of Crimea. But as Moscow\u2019s forces steadily advance in eastern Ukraine and reclaim territory lost in Russia\u2019s Kursk province, the future of the war looks increasingly bleak for Kyiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an October briefing, senior Pentagon officials said Russia\u2019s casualties were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2024\/10\/09\/russia-casualties-reach-600000-during-war-in-ukraine-pentagon-says\/\" target=\"_blank\">accelerating in the east and had reached 600,000 throughout the war. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defense.gov\/News\/Releases\/Release\/Article\/3940383\/statement-from-deputy-press-secretary-sabrina-singh-on-secretary-of-defense-llo\/\" target=\"_blank\">Austin\u2019s trip to Kyiv marks his fourth visit to Ukraine<\/a> and likely his last as secretary of defense. Aiding Ukraine\u2019s defense has been a signature achievement during his tenure. The U.S. has sent Ukraine over $61 billion in security aid in the last two and a half years, and Austin has helped coordinate the assistance of other countries through a monthly forum held in Ramstein, Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the second such package within a week, as Ukraine&#8217;s defensive lines wear in the
