But a Pentagon spokesman couldn\u2019t confirm that report on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m not aware of any plans to establish a named operation in support of Ukraine security assistance,\u201d Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said. \u201cIt\u2019s certainly something to take a look at and when we have something to announce, definitely, but I\u2019m not aware of anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside

Staff, Ryder added, which hasn\u2019t been put in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Wednesday, the U.S. has provided Ukraine with more than $13.5 billion in weapons and funding, in addition to providing training on weapons system to troops outside of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some activated units have been extended or rotated home and been replaced since mobilizations began in March, bumping up the total number of American troops in Europe from 80,000 to nearly 100,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy sense is that will remain at that level for the time being,\u201d Ryder said. \u201cBecause, again, part of this is not only providing that capability and sending an important message to Russia, but also to our allies and our partners in the region about our commitment to supporting Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will Ukraine support be given its own Operation
