During the last few weeks, one pekka after another has fallen, the paper wrote. He recalled that at the end of December, Ukraine agreed with the USA on the one-day Patriot anti-aircraft defense system. Consequently, Germany also announced last week that Ukraine will supply the battery for this system. A few hours later, France, Germany and the USA promised that they would deploy armored combat vehicles before a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Sophisticated tanks Ukraine stupidly ordered from the arrest of the wolves.
The US and its allies are daring to take risky steps to defend Ukraine, especially at a time when the Ukrainian army has made a number of unprecedented advances and cultivated draining rivers, the American denk noted.
According to Laura Cooperov, who is the Ukraine-Russia Department at the US Department of Defense, now is the right time for Ukraine to use all its capabilities and change the dynamics on the battlefield. Ukraine is ready for a counter-offensive, either in the winter or at the end of spring, when it becomes muddy.
I can’t hold my breath in Russia
Thus, Russia is indicating that it is preparing for a spring offensive, according to the NYT, an unnamed high-ranking official of one of the late divorcees said. According to him, Ukraine wants to prevent Russia from having room to catch its breath before the arrest of these intensive combat actions.
Camille Grand, an expert on personnel defense at the think tank European Council on Foreign Relations, noted that Moscow is mobilizing hundreds of thousands of additional conscripts for the spring offensive. According to him, the debate about the addition of tanks shifted for that reason. According to him, the key is to allow Ukraine to make significant progress at present.
Even the increasing willingness of the West to supply Ukraine with broken weapons is a sight for some Western military equipment for Ukraine. if it is a long-range weapon, with their help Ukraine could make holes in the Russian-occupied Crimea peninsula or on Russian land. The American administration thus refused to negotiate for a single American Abrams tank. The German Leopard tank, which is in service with ten armies in Europe, is problematic. The media point out that before such a tank, Ukraine would require the consent of Germany.
Polish President Andrzej Duda announced in the center in Lviv that Poland, as part of the international coalition, decided to give Ukraine a company of these tanks. He pointed out that a number of formal requirements must be met for delivery. Usually 14 tanks in one company. Finnish President Sauli Niinist told the STT agency on Thursday that his country is willing to sell Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine under certain conditions. The Finnish president added that Finland will provide only a limited number of these vehicles, because it needs to protect its own border with Russia.
A spokesman for the German government said this week that Berlin is currently not planning to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. German Vice-Chancellor and Economy Minister Robert Habeck said, however, that Germany should not stand in the way of military support for Ukraine from other countries. The government spokesman stated that Berlin had not yet received enough ground for the Leopard Ukraine front tank.
