Transcripts
note that I will moderate those
questions and call on journalists due to
time constraints would ask that those I
call upon limit their follow-up
questions to give your colleagues a
chance to ask their questions secretary
Austin over to you sir thanks Patrick
well good afternoon everybody and thanks
for joining us General Brown and I have
just come from the 22nd meeting of the
Ukraine defense contact group and I'm
grateful to the some 50 countries from
around the world that joined us again
today the contact group heard directly
from Ukraine's defense leaders including
minister
umov they gave a valuable update on
Ukraine's defensive operations across
the front line including the new Russian
offensive around
K we met today at a challenging moment
for
Ukraine Putin's forces have opened
another front to seize Sovereign
Ukrainian
territory and the Kremlin Invaders are
obliterating Ukrainian
Villages and kill K in innocent
civilians and bombarding civilian
infrastructure including dams and power
plants Ukraine's Defenders are in a hard
fight but Russian troops are paying a
high price for Putin's
aggression now Putin is betting that
eventually Ukraine will
fold and he's betting that this contact
group will crumble but he's wrong
and today we saw a gain
why Ukraine is fighting for its life
which gives it the huge strategic
advantage of a just
cause and meanwhile Putin is trying to
wage a 19th century war of Imperial
aggression in the world of
2024 that's a terrible
idea and a terrible
strategy Ukraine's forces are fighting
the Kremlin war of choice with ingenuity
and
skill and they are making excellent use
of the capabilities provided by the
members of this contact
group we spent a lot of time today on
life-saving air defense systems which
are helping Ukraine Stave off waves of
Russian missiles Iranian uavs and North
Korean
Munitions and we'll continue to push to
ensure that Ukraine owns its SK and can
defend its citizens and its civilian
infrastructure far from the front
lines the United States and our allies
and partners worldwide remain laser
focus on Ukraine's near-term
requirements in K and
elsewhere and we'll keep pushing to find
Swift solutions to Ukraine's most
pressing
needs and that's why President Biden
announced a $400 million security
assistance package for Ukraine earlier
this month it will provide critical
Munitions for nay Sams and Patriot air
defense systems more High Mar systems
and
Munitions more anti- armor systems and
other priority
requirements and this comes on top of
the7 billion do7 billion do of security
assistance that we've already committed
to Ukraine since the recent passage of
the National Security
Supplemental we're delivering the most
urgently needed capabilities including
155 mm artillery
rounds and much more is on the
way now contact group members also spent
time today on the long-term challenge of
Ukraine security and I continue to be
impressed by the work of the capability
coalitions these eight coalitions are
helping to anticipate and meet Ukraine's
Battlefield
needs and they're also laying the
foundation for Ukraine's future Force
which must be strong and and sustainable
enough to ward off future Russian
aggression today we heard updates from
the maritime Coalition and the
integrated air and missile defense
Coalition I'm also impressed with
Germany's immediate action on the Air
Defense
Initiative it's helping Ukraine's Global
Partners dig deeper and to find Rapid
and creative ways to deploy more air
defense systems and provide the spare
parts to sustain Ukraine's
defenses meanwhile the UK UK and Norway
are leading the maritime Coalition and
helping Ukraine beef up its capabilities
to fend off Putin's
attacks now those are just two of the
eight capability
coalitions and together they're
providing a sturdy flexible structure to
meet Ukraine's security requirements
over the Long Haul so we'll continue to
work with nations of Goodwill from
around the world to support Ukraine's
fight for survival and we'll continue to
make the case for why Ukraine
matters the outcome in Ukraine is CR is
crucial for European
security for Global
Security and for American
Security none of us would want to live
in a world where dictators redraw
borders by force and launch Wars of
aggression to try to revive yesterday's
Empires so let me be clear
Ukraine's partners are
united and we're
determined and we're not going
anywhere and with that let me turn it
over to General Brown sir thank you Mr
secretary uh good afternoon
everyone in an address to Congress near
the end of World War
I President woodro Wilson laid out his
14-point program for World
Peace he asserted that political
Independence and territorial Integrity
required an association of
Nations United against authoritarian
aggressors he said and I quote we cannot
be separating in interest or dividing in
purpose we stand together until the
end President Wilson never realized his
vision for a strong Coalition of Nations
based on his 14
points the world had to endure second
world war a war more brutal and more
costly than the
first before there was Collective will
to come together in common
purpose the principles President Wilson
Champion formed the basis of the
international order we live in
today that order is being challenged by
Russia's illegal and unprovoked attack
on The Sovereign Nation of
Ukraine Ukraine defense contact group
has stood together in the face of this
Russian
aggression and we'll continue to stand
together to support Ukraine and defend
the international
order once again I want to thank
secretary Austin for his leadership in
this International Coalition of more
than 50 nations in support of
Ukraine thanks also to defense minister
umarov and the Ukrainian delegation who
joined us
today and for their leadership of
Ukraine's armed
forces and to all the nations attending
today thank you for your continued
support of
Ukraine Ukrainian forces are being
challenged particularly in the car
region where they are vant defending
against increased Russian
attacks in recent days Russia launched a
new offensive attacks against
gar aiming to establish a shallow buffer
zone along the Ukrainian
border Russia anticipates that this will
divert Ukrainian focus and capabilities
from other critical
areas Ukraine has made the concerted
efforts to build and strengthen
defensive lines which are being tested
by Russian
attacks Ukraine is expanding air defense
Munitions to protect their Skies as they
defend against continued Russian strikes
on critical civilian
infrastructure Ukrainian forces are
fighting hard to hold against Russian
advances across the front
lines Ukraine's reserves and stock piles
are being challenged as they defend
against Russian offensive actions which
underscores the urgency of this
coalition's work to sustain
Ukraine the president authorized a$1
billion military AIDS package for
Ukraine following the passage of the
National Security
Supplemental and the second Aid package
was authorized a little over a week ago
to send additional critical capabilities
to
Ukraine these packages include urly
needed weapons such as artillery
ammunition air defense interceptors
anti-aircraft missiles armored vehicles
javelins and other anti-armor systems
we have worked diligently to deliver
these supplies as quickly as
possible the influx of us and Coalition
assistance will enable Ukraine to
continue to withstand Russian
aggression the milit a military aid to
Ukraine sends a clear message to the
world this Coalition will not Tire we
will not waver we will not give up our
Collective resolve is
steadfast we know that we cannot allow
Russia to rewrite borders to force
tyranny on an unwilling people and to
supplant a sovereign Democratic
Nation the actions of this Coalition
show other would be aggressors that we
will defend the international order
together our support for Ukraine is not
merely an act of
solidarity it is a strategic necessity
that that reinforces Brader
International
Security if unchecked Russian aggression
could embolden other authoritarian
regimes to challenge International norms
and violate the sovereignty of their
neighbors this highlights the importance
of a robust and unified
response Global events have far-reaching
consequences that impact us
all our Collective actions today will
shape the geopolitical landscape of
tomorrow this is what President Wilson
understood
safety and prosperity for all nations
can only be
won through unified and Cooperative
effort President Wilson understand that
peace and security are more than just
words they require constant work and
action on the part of Nations coming
together for a common
purpose the Ukraine defense contact
group is committed to that work thank
you and I look forward to your questions
thank you chman our first question will
go to Associated Press T cop thank you
for doing this um Mr secretary I wanted
to ask you about Iran does the Pentagon
have any indication that the helicopter
crash in Iran that killed President Ry
was anything other than an accident and
have you directed any Force posture
changes in case there's unrest following
these deaths and then for chairman Brown
I wanted to ask you about senior Airman
Roger
forson what would you like to say to
fortson's family and more broadly what
would you like to say to Black service
members who are wondering if it matters
whether they serve no matter what they
do there's still law enforcement that
see them as a
threat thanks tyara um regarding uh the
death of Iran's president uh in the in
the very unfortunate helicopter crash we
we continue to monitor the situation but
um we don't have any uh any insights
into the cause of the of the accident uh
at this point and certainly I know the
Iranians are inv investigating or will
investigate and and so we'll see what
the what the outcome is once their
investigation is
complete um in terms of uh our Force
posture don't have any announcements to
make uh and uh and again this is
something that we'll continue to watch
and I don't uh necessarily see any
broader uh Regional security impacts at
this point in time teror just time you
no indication that there was anything
other than an accident that brought this
helicopter down right I I can't
speculate on what may have been the
cause of the accident terara uh but uh
um you know again I think we'll we'll
learn more once the uh Iranians have
have
investigated ter let me uh first of all
pass on my S condolences to cman
fortun's family friends and
fellowman um I know they're going
through some difficult times right now
and I will also tell you that uh you
know for every service we lose it always
tears on make I know it impacts a
family and then one thing I would
highlight you know this is under an
investigation but what I would highlight
is that number of our service members
and their families live uh in our
various communities around the country
and we would hope and expect that they
would all be able to be safe in those
communities and and safe in their homes
at the same time I would also highlight
that uh for each one of those uh young
people that join our service and raise
their right hand and take an oath to
support and defend the Constitution of
the United States we want to provide
them uh opport opportunities to reach
their full potential and that's our
Focus for uh no matter their background
that uh decide to join our Force thank
you gentlemen next question go to CNN uh
secretary Austin sir Israeli defense
minister yav Galant uh brief National
Security adviser Jake Sullivan on on
Rafa plans and humanitarian efforts at
least according to the readout it seems
it's more detailed have you seen the
plans that Sullivan was briefed on and
does it meet the requirements of what
you want to see in terms of what Israel
needs to do before an operation in Rafa
uh and then General Brown sir as Ukraine
tries to defend itself against A Renewed
Russian offensive in K do you believe
Ukraine should be able to use American
Weaponry to Target Russian forces that
are just right across the border there
is that a recommendation you would
make um thanks I I've not seen uh the uh
the information that was brief to uh uh
Mr Sullivan but um you know as as you
know I talked to minister Gant every
week and I would expect that uh he would
uh detail uh the information in in in
that briefing to me as well so and I
I'll talk to uh Jake Sullivan as soon as
uh as soon as he's available but because
of that I won't speculate as to whether
or not uh it meets any kind of
requirements U but uh but again you know
we've been clear about uh what we what
we think is very very important and that
is to make sure that the civilians that
are in that battle space are moved out
of the battle space before uh any
activity occurs in that in that in that
City so uh so we'll see what happens you
know our our focus in support of Ukraine
is is being able to use capabilities
particularly the things that will impact
the uh the close battle uh in in various
areas um and we're paying attention
what's going on in around kke I won't
publicly uh talk about what I might
advice um but as we uh continue to
support them I I'll continue to work
with the secretary uh as we make uh
recommendations going forward but the
real key point is is using the
capabilities that we provided them in
the close battle in the areas that they
they are doing on the fronts that
they're already uh operating on as well
as uh into
Crimea okay let's go to Washington Post
hi uh nice to see you all um this
question is for both of you um regarding
going back to the Rafa operation um and
following up on orin's question so the
IDF is announcing plans as as recently
as today to expand the Rafa operation
and meanwhile people that we've spoken
with on the ground say that in in uh
that they perceive what is already a
full-fledged operation at least that's
the perception on the ground given the
bid Administration statement that it
will not support a full-fledged invasion
of Rafa without a coherent evacuation
and humanitarian plan are you prepared
to declare that it's a full-fledged
Invasion if these uh actions go ahead
and do you think there's a danger that
the IDF could sort of just do this
gradually continue to make sort of
gradual expansions and incr mental uh
push into Rafa in a way that falls short
of a giant charge into the City and
potentially try to avoid the US
consequences that have been
threatened thank you
um yeah again
uh I uh I've seen what uh what was
reported that Minister Gant said I look
forward to talking to him about uh about
what his plans really are and also
getting uh talking with uh Jake Sullivan
as well um and I really don't want to
speculate as to whether or not uh this
is or is not u a uh or will be a uh a
larger operation I really would like to
to see what the you know what what they
intend to do but what we would like to
see again is is protection of those
civilians that are in the battle space
move those civilians out but not only
move them out but make sure that uh
wherever they go wherever you move them
to that you that you have Provisions for
them to take care of them water shelter
those types of things um and you know
I've said before that there in my view
there have been far too many casualties
civilian casualties in this fight uh we
need to see something uh done a lot
differently and even you know if there
are um um if there is kinetic activity
if there are uh there is an operation
that that that is conducted that's
that's larger we certainly would like to
see things done differently more precise
uh in uh in and less destruction of uh
of uh you know the uh the civilian
structures and and and more protection
of the civilian
population well I would Echo you know
very much what the secretary said in all
my conversation my counterpart it it's
very much the same um you know be able
to communicate with us what their intent
is so we understand how they're
approaching it but at the same time
being able to take care of of the
civilians and uh not just um you know
move them out but move them into places
where they can uh you know have shelter
have food and that's something we
continually message in the uh in the
gangers I have with my my counterpart
let go to Fox um secretary Austin uh
Victoria nulan the former acting deputy
secretary of state who just stepped down
uh said yesterday on the Sunday shows
that the administration needs a new
Ukraine strategy and she said quote I
think if the attacks are coming directly
from Over the Line in Russia that those
bases ought to be fair game I think it's
time to give the Ukrainian more help
hitting these bases inside Russia do you
agree with her
assessment uh I agree with what the
chairman just said uh Jennifer and that
is that uh you know in my view their
focus ought to be on the on the close
fight and making sure that uh they're
they're servicing those targets that
will that will uh enable success uh in
the close fight so um you know and you
know we've been that way throughout and
and you know that'll be my view uh going
forward so and general Brown is there
anything NATO can do to help Georgia
resist Russian efforts to expand their
influence how does this affect what's
happening in Georgia right now how does
it affect Georgia's Pathway to Nato well
you know we're we're deeply concerned
and watching um the influence Russia uh
has in in Georgia and we we'll remain
committed to Georgia sovereignty um you
know as as I met last week with my uh my
NATO counterparts we consistently talk
about how we work together to the the
sovereignty of the the the uh the
Nations that are part of NATO but also
just the overall security situation in
in Europe but will this affect Georgia's
admission to Nato or Pathway to Nato
should they I'm not I'm not in a policy
to making decision points of uh whether
or not but you know from my perspective
as a uniform uh service member it's
about ensuring the security of uh of the
various Nations but also the security of
the citizens of those Nations as well
okay let's go to El jair thank you
General thank you Mr secretary um the
international criminal court prosecutor
today announced he's
requesting um arrest warranties against
prime minister Netanyahu and of Israel
and your counterpart Mr Galant over
accusation of war crimes and crimes
against humanity in Gaza my first
question will your um Administration
support this case and will you cooperate
with the court on this case and the
second second question is U the us being
the main supporters of supporter of
Israel and in light of this uh case uh
will you reconsider the provision of
weapons to Israel some of which have
been used to kill Palestinian civilians
according to President Biden thank
you Al so I've seen press reports of uh
you know the ICC uh seeking arrest
warrants uh but I don't have anything to
provide on that on issue on that issue
again our Focus continues to be uh on
providing Israel what it needs to defend
itself we we that's been our Focus from
the very beginning and as President
Biden has said a number of times uh our
support to Israel remains
Ironclad
um I think it's important to reflect
back to how this got started you know
this brutal attack on October 7th um you
know
number of uh Israeli and American
civilians uh were were killed in that uh
in that assault uh in that terrorist
attack uh there were over 230 hostages
taken half of those hostages remain in
custody uh and so um you know again our
Focus remains on providing support to uh
to Israel in its efforts to defend
itself uh and we very much would like to
see
uh the hostage is uh returned uh safely
um in in terms of the decision to
provide uh weapons to uh to Israel again
I won't uh engage in any type of
speculation going forward but uh but
again my hope would be that uh you know
we do what's necessary to protect
civilians in a battle space and you know
you'll hear me say that over and over
again I I don't think the two things are
are incompatible you know I think you
can conduct military operations
effectively and also um um account for
civilians in the battle space you know
we we have learned a lot the United
States has learn learned a lot in terms
of you know this type of operation over
the past several years and and uh again
I there's there are ways to do this when
you can where you can account for both
you can protect the people and also
accomplish your objectives let's go to
avoiders
um General Brown could you explain
you've been quoted talking about the
inevitability of uh advisors us advisers
in Ukraine working with Ukrainian forces
can you explain a little bit about what
what why that is necessary and what it
would take to make that happen and uh
and secretary Austin on the ICC
President Biden has uh called it uh the
the arrest warrants outrageous um this
department had said it would work with
the ICC to provide evidence about
Ukraine uh is that work continuing um
how does this decision affect uh those
Pentagon efforts thank you so let me uh
put uh you know this that discussion
into context if you go back before
February of uh 2022 we had uh our US
military members in there while working
and training with the ukrainians and
that's not the case right now and uh you
know when I said that we put be able to
do that eventually you know once this
conflict is over and um we're we're in a
better place then uh I would suspect
that we would be able to uh bring
trainers back back in uh but right now
there are no plans uh to bring us
criners into
Ukraine so on the on the question of the
ICC um again as I said earlier I don't
have uh anything to add on the on the
reports that that we've seen here
recently um regarding the question of
whether or not uh we'll continue to
provide support uh to the
ICC with respect to crimes that are
committed uh and Ukraine yes we continue
that work time for just a couple more
let's go to NPR Mr secretary I want to
go back to RAF uh you said you haven't
received a detailed military plan from
the Israelis about the way ahead there
what about the humanitarian plan you say
you want them to care for these hundreds
of thousands of people displaced provide
food shelter Medical Care have they
given you any indication about how they
plan on doing that um early on we
received a uh a conceptual brief on how
they were going to going to put uh
measures in place to take care of the
population that that moved out of that
battle space uh and the things that are
required to support that plan we've just
not seen I've not seen uh those those
elements go into play and so my view is
that there's there's more work to be
done and uh and my view is also that
this takes this takes time and so um
again those those things that I think uh
need to be place to take care of people
whenever they migrate from one place to
another again we I've not seen evidence
that those things are in place yet so
well can you give us a sense of the
concept that they gave you any any
details on that to us uh I'll I'll leave
that to the Israelis to brief their
their concept but uh
um yeah it's it's one thing to have a
concept it's another thing to actually
put it into play so let's go to NBC um
Mr secretary you said that uh it is
possible to conduct operations and also
account for civilians in the battle
space and I wonder on Rafa given your
extensive military experience what
you're seeing happen in Rafa right now
do you think that Israel is doing that
conducting their operations and
accounting for civilians in the battle
space and then Mr chairman on the idea
of um Ukraine conducting strikes inside
Russia I wonder if you can say are you
confident that none of the long range
attacks that the US has provided have
been used to strike inside Russian
territory
um so
regarding
um what uh what Israel is doing inside
Rafa you know what we've seen thus far
is uh uh a limited action that's been
focused on uh the Rafa border crossing
uh and again U it's reported that uh
Minister Gan said that he looks to
expand operations going forward um now
um I I look forward to uh to having that
discussion with him to understand uh you
know what what his intent is and and uh
and how he's going to do that but again
uh what we want to see is uh is
civilians accounted for and moved out of
that battle space before anything
happens we've been clear about that uh
about that
throughout um as you well know um I
think before things this fight kicked
off in in Gaza there were some 27 5,000
or so people that lived in and around
Rafa that number grew to um 1.25 million
or or so and that's that's a big jump
and uh and that's a lot of people in a
very compressed battle space that's uh
in a in a very difficult urban area and
as you know Urban combat is very very
intense very difficult to begin with so
uh unless you account for those
civilians uh and do things differently
then I think uh you know you stand to
have a lot more casualties going forward
and that's something that we'd like to
see change let's go to scripts I'm uh I
am confident the the attachments that we
provided been uh not been used in uh in
Russia they've been using Targets in
Ukraine secary Austin the Russians
they're flying bom they're flying
bombers in Russian territory with glide
bombs that are having a devastating
impact on the battlefield inside of
Ukraine should the ukrainians be able to
use American Air defenses to hit those
Russian bombers in Russian
territory well you know I again you can
diagram a number of different cases for
um you know whatever I would say that uh
we we have been clear about providing
Ukraine the ability to defend it defend
its uh Sovereign territory and again the
Dynamics of of an aerial engagement you
know I i' leave it up to the experts but
but uh but certainly
um you know our expectation is that they
they continue to use the weapons that we
provided uh uh on targets inside of
Ukraine now the the the the aerial
Dynamics a little bit different and uh
and so uh but again
um don't want to speculate on any any
one or or any type of Engagement here at
the podium so you think it's it's off
limits or not off liit so final question
we'll go here thank you uh Mr secretary
are you concerned that Iran is going to
try and blame Israel or even the United
States for the crash that killed the
President yesterday and for General
Brown Israel is also conducting
operations in Northern Gaza even though
they've said that they they previously
said that they had defeated Hamas there
so particularly given your personal
experience fighting terrorists in the
Middle East do you believe that Israel
can achieve its goal of fully
eliminating
Hamas the the United States had no part
to play uh in in that crash and so and
that's that's a fact plain and simple
and Israel are you afraid they're going
to blame Israel I I I won't speculate as
to what they'll what they'll blame again
they they have to conduct an
investigation to see what the cause of
the crash was um it could be a number of
things mechanical failure pilot error
you name it
so to to your uh your question about
Northern Gaza you know uh and and based
on experience uh not only you have to
actually go in and uh and clear out uh
whatever adosphere you're up against you
have to go go in and hold the territory
then you got to stabilize it uh the uh
Israelis did not actually uh once they
cleared it didn't hold and so that
allows um your adversary then to
repopulating areas if you're not there
um and so that does make it more
challenging for them um as far as being
able to uh meet their objective of being
able to uh militarily uh destroy and
defeat Hamas do you think they will be
able to do that
well I mean Hamas is it's not just an
organization it's a it's a ideology and
so you got to think about uh um you the
overall piece of being able to provide
uh security not only for Israel but just
there in the region um is going to take
a conserved effort not just from a
military piece but it's also how we uh
you know uh work the humanitarian
assistance which is why we focus so much
secretary talking about humanitarian
assistance and and protecting these
civilians that are there in in Gaza
secretary Austin General Brown thank you
very much gentlemen ladies and gentlemen
this concludes our press briefing thank
you thank
