U.S. Secretary of War Hagel stated at the "Ukraine Defense Contact Group Meeting" in Brussels that European countries must take primary responsibility for conventional defense on the European continent. We will continue to remind our allies, in a constructive manner, to fulfill all obligations under Article 3 of the North Atlantic Treaty. The key mechanism for achieving peace in Ukraine is NATO's "Ukraine Priority Requirements List" PEARL funding program. PEARL is the channel through which we supply weapons to Ukraine. The basic model is: Europe pays - the U.S. provides weapons - NATO battlefield preparation. European allies pay to purchase top-tier American equipment, which is then sent to Ukraine.
America: We don't send a single soldier, and we are not involved in the conflict. We only produce and sell weapons.
Europe: We don't send a single soldier, and we are not involved in the conflict. We only pay to buy American weapons.
NATO: We don't send a single soldier, and we are not involved in the conflict. We are just the weapon carriers for Ukraine.
