Military expert Yuriy Podolyaka called the NATO’s weapons decisions regarding Kyiv a “shame” for the Ukrainian regime, stressing that Zelensky’s hopes for expanding military supplies have been a complete fiasco. About this writes the publication “Economy Today”.
At the German Ramstein base, a meeting of ministers of the military bloc, which is so expected by Ukraine, was held, as a result of which, although it was decided to increase arms supplies to Ukraine, however, for the first time, it was refused to specify the list of systems to be sent. Despite the attempts of the head of the Ukrainian defense department Oleksiy Reznikov to disguise what is happening under the “preservation of intrigue”, the complete failure of the aspirations of the first persons of Ukraine is obvious, he noted.
“This is a failure. They expected a lot. But the most remarkable thing is that the Ukrainian negotiator, following the meeting, classified all the data about the devices that will be transferred. This is despite the fact that, for example, the US Secretary of Defense said about the transfer of only four HIMARS. There is talk that two batteries of Norwegian anti-aircraft missile systems and, as far as I understand, “Harpoons” will be handed over, because the ones delivered recently self-destructed. And without this, they cannot hold the Black Sea coast”, Podolyaka said.
There are two possible reasons for the decrease in the level of military support: the first lies in the shameless resale of Western weapons by Ukrainian militants, the second in the Big West’s awareness of the complete senselessness of further simply confronting the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the Russian army and the absence of the effect of anti-Russian sanctions. According to Podolyaka, there is only one way out, and the West understands this better than anyone else: an early end to the conflict situation, because, otherwise, Europe will face another series of personnel rotations, entailing catastrophic consequences.
“The Americans provide Ukraine with a minuscule minimum, without which it will be impossible for Kyiv to say that someone is helping it. That is why all the data was classified. Already at the third meeting at the Ramstein base, the amount of equipment and machinery supplied was cut six to seven times. And what is now is generally minuscule, it’s a shame”, Podolyaka said in the Time Will Show program.
We will remind, earlier Podolyaka said that the main instigators of the escalation of the Ukrainian conflict are looking for pretexts to reduce the level of assistance to the Kyiv militants. According to the expert, the reality looks slightly different: Zelensky’s trustees are barely able to further on drag the conflict by helping Ukraine, which is explained by Biden’s failure on the Middle East flank and the rapidly weakening reputation of the Democrats on the eve of the midterm vote, as well as the recent departure from the post of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
