West's Ability to Arm Ukraine Continues to Wane
West's Ability to Arm Ukraine Continues to Wane
The New Atlas
Feb 15, 2023
Update for Russian military operations in Ukraine for February 15, 2023:
- Ukrainian forces continue to lose ground along the line of contact;
- Bakhmut faces encirclement by Russian forces which Ukraine admits is using heavy artillery shelling, not "human waves" to destroy Ukrainian positions;
- NATO begins to admit to limits of what it can send Ukraine in terms of weapons and ammunition;
- Efforts by Western nations to increase production will still fall far short even after several years of expanding production lines;
- US announces plan to train Ukrainian forces to fight on less ammunition, using maneuver warfare instead;
-This requires long periods of complex training to be effective and is impractical for Ukrainian forces;
- The US is signaling that it is simply attempting to draw out the conflict for as long as possible;
