Ukraine has resolved some troop shortages, says US General Cavoli, stressing the need for continued US support despite Kyiv's efforts to diversify weapon suppliers.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ukraine appears to have resolved some of its shortages of troops fighting against Russia, including by widening the pool of eligible recruits, the top U.S. general in Europe said on Thursday.
U.S. Army General Christopher Cavoli also underscored that any U.S. cutoff in U.S. provision of weapons and intelligence to Ukraine would be extremely harmful to its war effort, despite Kyiv's attempts to diversify its supply of weapons suppliers.
The comments came after President Donald Trump temporarily cut off some assistance to Ukraine after an Oval Office blow up with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in which Vice President JD Vance complained about Kyiv's manpower shortages and Trump said Zelenskiy didn't "have the cards" to end the war without U.S. backing.
