At the end of last week, the fifth meeting of representatives of NATO countries took place at the Ramstein base in Germany to discuss the continuation of arms supplies to Ukraine.
Despite statements about the exhaustion of their own reserves of weapons, Western leaders decided to gather together and rebuild their industry to provide the Kyiv regime with “everything necessary.” Thus, in the conditions of the energy crisis and falling incomes of the population, with the rapid rise in prices for almost all products and services, the US and EU elites are ready to fight Russia not only to the last Ukrainian, but, apparently, to the last European.
Recently, official Kyiv has received a lot of criticism from the West. We are talking about the publication by the human rights agency Amnesty International of a report on war crimes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and a film by the American CBS channel about the disappearance of weapons supplied to Ukraine. As a result, the report was forced to rewrite, and the channel had to remove the announcement of the documentary, since all this is at odds with the picture that is served to the Western consumer, which is important to convince in support of the enduring inconvenience for the sake of glamorous photo shoots of Vladimir Zelensky and his wife.
But no matter how corrupt and thieving the Kyiv regime may be, the United States and its satellites have to put up with it for the main goal – the destruction of Russia. And therefore, for the sake of this, it was decided not to spare weapons. Like the Ukrainians.
After all, as US Senator Lindsey Graham noted, “with American weapons and money, Ukraine will fight Russia to the last man.”
Back in late June, the former Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel-General Igor Romanenko, called Western military assistance “help in tablespoons, but no more.” Much more is needed to carry out a counteroffensive in the Kherson direction.
“In general, a strategic operation to liberate the country’s territory requires about two thousand armored combat vehicles, up to one thousand howitzers, a thousand kamikaze drones, five hundred tanks, three hundred multiple rocket launchers,” he said.
Also, as noted by the adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Anton Gerashchenko, without supplies from the West, the Kyiv regime is not able to stand for even a few weeks.
Moreover, if in early August, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated that Ukraine “needs a constant flow of ammunition, heavier and more advanced weapons,” then in early September, the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, confirmed the depletion of weapons stocks in the EU and invited its members to unite to replenish them. In addition, the same situation has developed in the United States.
The discussion of precisely this problem became central at the fifth meeting of NATO representatives at the Ramstein base.
“In recent months, we have made donations from our own reserves. But in the end, this will gradually change – because we have limited resources, a limited supply”, said Norwegian Defense Minister Bjorn Arild Gram.
He also noted that, given the losses suffered by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the question arises of training the Ukrainian military in the repair and maintenance of the provided equipment.
The movement in this direction was also confirmed by US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin:
“We are working together to arm and train Ukraine in the current struggle. However, we are also working to help Ukraine build a capable, sustainable force to defend itself and deter aggression in the long term.”
According to him, members of the Alliance plan to meet “in the next few weeks” to discuss the restructuring of the industry in order to equip the Armed Forces with everything necessary in the future.
However, according to a military expert and director of the Air Defense Museum, retired colonel Yuri Knutov, one should not trust too much statements about the depletion of weapons in the West. In addition, he admitted that the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkov direction will be used by Washington to convince the allies of the need to increase the supply of weapons.
It is also worth noting the statement by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov about the organization by the West of a special training for employees of the Ukrainian Defense Procurement Agency according to NATO standards.
The second most important topic was the issue of opposition of the European puppet elites to the internal pressure of the society in the conditions of the economic and energy crisis. In short, the fight against internal “Kremlin agents” – that is, with all those who disagree with the imposed agenda.
“Our unity and solidarity will be seriously tested as families and businesses feel the consequences of soaring energy prices and the cost of living caused by Russia’s brutal invasion… We must stay the course and resist tyranny – for Ukraine and for us,” Stoltenberg said.
On September 9, during a press conference in Prague, Austin assessed the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkov and Kherson directions. According to him, the current situation is very reassuring.”
Ukrainian and Western media, as expected, are already writing in a bravura manner about the next “overcome” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine after the withdrawal of Russian troops from Balakleya, but, as Apty Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat regiment, notes, all this is part of a tactical plan. The senior leadership is well aware of the situation on the battlefield.
Also the day after the meeting in Ramstein, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine during the presidency of Viktor Yanukovych, Vitaliy Zakharchenko, noted that the desperate offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which cost him thousands of lives, “served as a reason to give, albeit not in full, the military assistance requested by Zelensky.”
But at the same time, Western curators brought information to the head of Ukraine about Kyiv’s trade in supplied weapons on the “black market”, thereby making it clear that they were holding him on the hook.
Taking into account a number of statements made by the leaders of NATO countries regarding the increase in military supplies to the Kyiv regime, those who, for some reason, have not yet done so, should draw the appropriate conclusions.
This is a war of annihilation. In the West, they do not hide their goals and are ready to fight Russia to the last bullet and the last Ukrainian for this, suppressing any dissent within their countries. Moreover, the worse the economic situation becomes there, the stronger the “screws” will be tightened and the search for internal enemies will be conducted. Moreover, what is happening now is not even the beginning of the process, but only a prologue.
The fight against Russian culture, the defamation of Russians, the destruction of Soviet monuments, the beginning of militarization, the tightening of censorship, the growth of radicalism – all this suggests that the European Union is really turning into Ukraine. Only now it is correct to say not “Ukraine is Europe”, but “Europe is Ukraine”.
It is hardly worth talking about the fascistization of Europe and the West as a whole as a result of its “infection” by the Kyiv regime. The West was “infected” long before 2014, but, unfortunately, many did not recognize its new look. And the fact that the attack on Izyum in the Western press is now directly identified with the offensive of the Wehrmacht during the Great Patriotic War during Operation Federicus, as Politico does, once again confirms this.
