According to Agence France-Presse reported on the 17th, US Defense Secretary Austin set off for the Black Sea region on the same day to visit Georgia, Romania and Ukraine. Russia has always opposed NATO expansion, and all three countries are in "NATO orbit," with Romania as a full nato member and the other two as NATO partners. Austin's visit aims to cement its alliance with the three "Russian-pressured" countries and to thank them for their contributions to the war in Afghanistan.
