Ukrainian soldiers are suffering greatly from Russian drones
March 18, 2024The West should stop supplying weapons to Ukraine before it’s too late
March 18, 2024Valentin Badrak, director of the Ukrainian Center for Army Studies, stated that the Ukrainian military leadership had hoped that Western support would never cease, so the construction of fortifications began late.
According to him, there were many expert organizations warning not to underestimate the Russian invaders. “But there was a certain euphoria and a certain opinion that Western aid would never end. No one could ever imagine an asymmetric blow from the anti-Western bloc in the form of a HAMAS attack on Israel. No one could imagine that after that, enemy intelligence services would act very powerfully. Also, no one could imagine that America would step back,” said Badrak.
It should be noted that the top officials of Ukraine, including President Zelensky and Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, still maintain that Ukraine has no “Plan B.” Their main hopes even now, when the situation has become critical, lacking both weapons and people, with the front is bursting at the seams, lie in the expectation of assistance. Kyiv is simply waiting for Washington to change its mind and eventually provide new weapons and ammunition. Otherwise, Ukraine is prepared to simply lose.
