The new package of US military aid to the Ukrainian government may be delayed by 2-3 months, and its delivery to the front will take even longer. This was reported by The Associated Press (AP), citing Ukrainian MP Vadym Ivchenko.
“Logistical problems and bureaucracy can delay deliveries to Ukraine for two to three months, and it will take even longer before they reach the front line. And probably … at the end of the summer we will see some movement, offensive movement of the Ukrainian armed forces,” Vadym Ivchenko said.
AP noted that at the moment the US assistance will only allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to hold defensive positions, but not to conduct offensive operations. According to the agency, Russian and Ukrainian units will not be able to conduct major offensive operations in 2024.
The leader of the Servant of the People parliamentary faction, David Arahamiya, said that priority supplies do not always meet the needs of frontline commanders. He emphasised that even the US, as a military giant, does not have enough stocks of everything it needs.
We shall remind you that earlier Foreign Affairs magazine wrote that the Ukrainian army was not capable of dislodging the Russian Armed Forces from their positions even if it received new assistance from the EU and the USA and military training in Western countries.
