  1. I can’t imagine this being possible with the amount of troops Russia is pouring into occupied territories.

    It seems to be an impossible factor to overcome and I have no idea how they will. It’s hard to comprehend how little they value life.

  2. It won’t. It will just insure Ukraine won’t fall by 2025, when another package will be required.

  3. Not gonna be much more successful with the consistent drip feed of aid and all the delays.
    There is a special irony that it’s this pos Sullivan talking about it.

  4. Why does he say a stupid thing like that? We all know much more is required for a successful counteroffensive. Don’t get me wrong though, the aid is welcome and much needed to stop Russia.

  5. Just a note: look at where the current frontline is from Bakhmut. That’s how much russia has gained in the last year, few kilometers and they’ve lost thousands of vehicles and tens of thousands men. Despite what they would like to have us believe so, not even russia can endure these attritions over longer period.

    What west has to do is make sure Ukraine has good AA to reduce civilian and military casualties and offer proper counter for russian artillery. The [upgraded JDAM](https://new.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/1cjxed4/the_usa_to_provide_seekers_for_ukraines_jdamer_to/) is very welcome to snuffing out the jammers russia is putting out.

  6. Ukraine are far from being even on par with Russia in most equipment, weapons and ammo categories and I don’t see even pledged amount of support that can at least narrow the gap or to mitigate the disparity in some capabilities.  

    Like additional air defence on the level that can minimise russian air force advantage and missile strike capabilities. Or significant amount of missiles that can strike far behind the frontlines including russian territory. 

    So before things would at least look like it being resolved this statement is just empty words for me. Especially since previous weapon deliveries were staged in a way that russians somehow were able to adapt pretty fast.  

    Also I can already see many excuses that can follow if this didn’t hold true at all, despite it not resolving the issues of material support needed.

  7. At this point they just need to focus on digging in and chipping away at Russia’s economy and equipment. I don’t see a big counteroffensive as possible anymore within the next two years. That window has closed.

  8. >Sullivan says.

    Opinion discarded, after all his “non-escalation” spiel before

  9. He is the problem. We hate Sullivan. Ruzzia appeasement guy
