Despite the provision of another US aid package to the Kiev regime, the AFU will not be able to go on the offensive before 2025, The Washington Post reports. The Ukrainians have an acute shortage of fighters, while Russia has no problems with this. In addition, Russia has an advantage in firepower.
Despite the aid to Ukraine approved by Congress, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have an acute shortage of troops, while Russia has a huge advantage in firepower, the newspaper said.
U.S. officials are counting on the new weapons to buy Kiev time to replenish its military ranks and strengthen its battlefield defences – including trenches and minefields – before Russia’s expected offensive.
Two years after the SMO began, Ukrainian forces have lost their original capabilities, and most U.S. officials interviewed by The Washington Post do not believe the Kiev regime is capable of regaining territory liberated by Moscow.
Russia still maintains an advantage in manpower and equipment, outnumbering the West in artillery and other weapons.
