The Pentagon is preparing detailed analysis and working out how to support Ukraine's military in the medium and long term, including after the war with Russia has ended, according to three defense officials.
The efforts are being led by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley and would build on the billions of dollars in military aid the US has given to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February.
The process is at an early stage and a senior defense official said it is looking at the "future of Ukrainian forces," aiming to answer key questions about "what makes sense?" and "what do we want Ukraine to start having in the mid and the long term?" in terms of military support. As well as the current conflict, which is expected to be lengthy, the US is looking, at least, at the next five years after the war is over.
Ukrainian forces aim to retake Kherson by year's end as gains made in south, US and Ukrainian officials say Ukrainian forces aim to retake Kherson by year's end as gains made in south, US and Ukrainian officials say "What are the things that if we wanted to imagine with Ukraine, what their future force would be, let's say if they want to be a maneuver force and they want to have these defensive capabilities as well as offensive capabilities, what seems to make sense?" the official told CNN.
The analysis is being conducted in conjunction with the Ukrainians.

Don’t they have a war to win first?
They are going to run out of Ukrainians. They should send over illegal aliens next.
Just like the US did in Afghanistan.
Sorry Ukraine I think you’re going to need a lot more faggots and trannies in your military now.
Obviously, the Ukrainians are a different breed entirely.
LOL. Ukrainians are fighting for an “independent Ukraine.”
Ukraine was on the NATO/US leash since 2014, now they officially own it and run it.
Milley Vanilly. A fake general.
Yay! Forever War!!
We don’t have 85 billion in military hardware to abandon yet...
As pointed out by another poster, the Afghanis weren’t stupid enough to let the US neocons fight them to the last boy and girl.
Well, Russia has already invaded twice now, so it’s probably a good idea to plan for Russia invading again in the future.
Ukraine would be better off hiring the Dindu’s out of the Southside of Chicago.
Ukraine has never been independent. This freaking thread proves it.
Yeah, what "breed" is that?
Nope, this is a generational quagmire. Our grandchildren will be paying for this political CF long after we’re dead and gone. Kind of like us paying the trillions for NATO after it’s one and only reason for being, the Warsaw Pact, had been placed on the ash heap of history by Reagan. After twenty years of making the Middle East safe for Raytheon, it’s off to Central Europe for decades more of Military Industrial boondoggle.
Your analysis after watching the Ukrainians for the last 7 months fighting alone against the Russians, is that they are like the Afghanis?
“ Yay! Forever War!!”
And YAY we get to send money to them FOREVER!
The U.S. taxpayer gets to support everyone! At least until we are all dead of fentanyl, because what we don’t do is take care of our own business.
Say hello to America's newest colony.
Like Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc... the local elites will now be looking to the USA - for money, for weapons, for strategy, for control and mediation between factions, for guarantees for themselves, etc...
And if/when US "ownership" ends, the whole thing collapses.
