Missiles rain down on Ukraine\u2019s great cities \u2014 including the capital, Kyiv \u2014 and on its water and power infrastructure, as the blood-hungry autocrat seeks to hammer the country into submission.<\/p>\n<p>As the deaths mount and Putin\u2019s cruelty seems unshakable, the question rises: What can the US do next to aid Ukraine and preserve the postwar liberal order? It\u2019s a critical question; the war seems to have reached a possible inflection point now that Ukraine has rolled back Russia\u2019s advances in the east.  <\/p>\n<p>One key move touches a nexus of American interests: the effort to cut off Iran\u2019s supply of drones to Russia, by blocking the flow of vital components Iran needs to make them. The US is also helping Ukrainians target drone launchpads in-country.<\/p>\n<p>These are smart and necessary tactics. Offering more support to Iranian protesters, to ratchet up pressure against the mullahs, might also help.<\/p>\n<p>As would bolstering the military might of the Ukrainian forces themselves. Despite the fulminations of some in Congress about aid to Ukraine, such aid is effective and advances our larger national interest, as it helps thwart Russia\u2019s imperial ambitions in its near abroad. That\u2019s why the near-$2 billion the US is spending on a package that will (among other things) deliver a Patriot missile battery \u2014 one of the best long-range air-defense systems \u2014 to Ukraine is a smart investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/iran-drone.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"An Iranian drone used by Russia in the war in Ukraine.\" class=\"wp-image-25204812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/iran-drone.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/iran-drone.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/iran-drone.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>An Iranian drone used by Russia in the war in Ukraine.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Ukrainian military&#8217;s Strategic Communications Directorate via AP, File<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Patriots will help Ukraine fight back against Putin\u2019s indiscriminate missile attacks (his main offensive tool now that his ground forces seem to be physically and morally hobbled). Biden should consider a bigger commitment to improved air defenses, like sending more than one battery, as well as getting out of the way as allies in Europe want to send along their own MiG fighters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Most important for Biden, however, is to remember that Putin cannot be trusted \u2014 not at the negotiating table and not even if a peace \u201cagreement\u201d has been concluded; he shreds  deals with abandon. And Russia is still clearly committed to its political goal of controlling Ukraine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2023 will be a hard fight for the Ukrainians, as it was in 2022. Yet there are plenty of steps Biden can take to help them without triggering escalation. The real question is whether he and his team are resolute enough to stay the course.\u00a0\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
