Three influential American think tanks have already done so, and arrived at the conclusion that the United States should begin supplying Ukraine not only with more non-lethal aid – such as drones, armored Humvees, and medical equipment – but also with “lethal defensive military assistance," in the form of light anti-armor missiles. European governments, however, remain unwilling to reconsider their position on supplying defensive equipment to Ukraine, and have instead reiterated that a diplomatic solution is the only option.
三个颇有影响力的美国智库已经开始行动起来，并且形成了一个结论：美国不但应该向乌克兰输送非致命援助——如无人机、装甲悍马和医疗设备——也应该开始提供“致命防御性军事援助”，如轻型反装甲导弹。但是，欧洲政府仍不愿重新考虑其关于向乌克兰提供防御设备的立场，而是不断重申外交途径是唯一选择。
