The United States did not expect Ukraine to quickly use up its military arsenal, so it is in no hurry to supply its best weapons, as it does not want a quick victory for Kyiv. This was stated by the editor of the magazine “Arsenal of the Fatherland” Alexey Leonkov in an interview with Ukraina.ru.
Even the massive aid provided in late spring and until the end of summer did not significantly affect APU successes.
“This did not bring significant changes at the front. Yes, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had tactical successes, but they did not have a strategic success that would return at least 10% of the territory controlled by our army. power. They need this time. And just this time is won by the fighters of the defense, which Ukraine sacrifices on the line of contact, “Leonkov stated.
The expert questioned the fact that America will ever supply the Armed Forces with its best weapons, noting that the United States is in no hurry to unpack its warehouses. They promised the Europeans to hand over the Abrams tanks in exchange for Soviet equipment sent to Ukraine, but they never did.
Leonkov called the main paradox of the US assistance to Ukraine: by supplying defensive weapons, they demand from Kyiv an offensive on the fronts. The expert noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not win, even if they receive the best advanced weapons from America.
