In the wake of Russia’s unjust, full-scale invasion of Ukraine, I assembled an international coalition of some 50 countries to help Ukraine fight for its freedom. I'm proud of everything we accomplished to ensure Ukraine has the capabilities it needs to defend itself.

Today, I hosted my final Ukraine Defense Contact Group as Secretary of Defense. As a collective, we’ve committed & provided more than $122 billion of security assistance to Ukraine as they fight to protect their people & their sovereignty from Russian aggression. I am incredibly proud of everything we’ve achieved together.
