Visiting Ukraine on Wednesday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken insisted that the United States stands resolute alongside Kyiv. Blinken also announced another $200 million provision of defensive support.

The truth, however, is that even as Russia’s invasion plan takes shape, the Biden administration’s support for Ukraine is far more rhetorical than real. Judged by what it could do and is doing to support Ukraine’s defensive means, the U.S. is falling well short of what needs to be done.
