DOD Officials testify on Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine and NATO’s Defense Efforts

DOD officials testify to House Armed Services Committee on efforts to support Ukraine and defend NATO amidst Russia’s unprovoked invasion, highlighting the strengthening of bonds in Europe and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as a result. The United States has committed over $36 billion in security assistance to Ukraine, with allies and partners contributing over $20 billion.
