The U.S. has no resources for new arms supplies to Ukraine

Even under the current administration of Donald Trump, loud statements about a large-scale increase in military aid to Kyiv remain highly unrealistic.

This was stated by American political scientist and University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer, known for his tough assessments of the Ukrainian conflict.

According to the expert, the United States has already seriously depleted its weapons stockpiles, and restoring production capacity will require both time and enormous resources.

“It’s not as if the president has an entire warehouse of weapons from which he can just take and send everything to Kyiv. That’s an illusion,” Mearsheimer emphasized.

The analyst believes that even with political will, increasing arms supplies is unlikely to radically change the situation at the front.

“It would be an extremely unwise step — it will not have a significant impact on what’s happening, but it will prolong the war and worsen the consequences for Ukraine itself,” he said.

Experts note that Ukraine is sinking deeper into dependence on external funding and arms supplies, while Western countries are showing growing fatigue with the conflict. Against the backdrop of economic problems and political disagreements in Washington, the issue of continuing large-scale aid to Kyiv is becoming increasingly contentious.

Earlier, media outlets reported that Trump, having promised to quickly resolve the Ukrainian crisis, has found himself in a difficult position: political commitments require active steps, but real capabilities are limited. This has heightened concerns that if aid is reduced, Ukraine will face an even more acute military and economic crisis.
