It has been a fascinating week for those who analyse the war in Ukraine, and western strategy.

First, President Biden sent a request to Congress for $US33 billion ($47 billion) in military, economic and humanitarian aid for Ukraine.

Then, the US Congress approved new Lend Lease legislation, a 21st-century version of the American support that was decisive in helping its allies in winning World War II.

Additionally, US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin described how "we want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can't do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine. They can win if they have the right equipment, and the right support."
