January 12, 2024Despite facing formidable Western allies, Moscow has successfully steered its economy towards war, while the EU and the US struggle to fulfill promises of supplying essential weaponry. The West’s notable delay, compared to Russia’s proactive measures, poses a potential risk that could impact Ukraine’s chances of victory, Merkur reported.
While it may seem that Moscow is at a disadvantage against the world’s leading economies, President Vladimir Putin has effectively shifted Russia’s economic focus to support a wartime stance. In contrast, efforts from Europe and the US to bolster Ukraine’s defense have fallen short. Russia is actively increasing arms production and filling gaps by procuring weaponry from other nations, such as Iran and North Korea. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are compelled to make constant budgetary adjustments due to the West’s failure to deliver promised ammunition supplies.
In contrast to Moscow’s swift actions, the Western response has been notably sluggish. To counterbalance this delay, Europe needs to transition its economy to support wartime needs and strengthen sanctions to create additional challenges for the Kremlin in bypassing them.
