  • Two years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, its troops are surging on multiple fronts, while a dwindling supply of Western weapons and munitions leaves Ukraine outgunned. Countries on NATO’s eastern flank are stepping up warnings that a victorious Russia might come for them next…while the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny served as a reminder that Vladimir Putin knows few scruples. Will the West hear his call to keep up the fight? We are asking: "Russia’s War On Ukraine: No Strategy in the West?"

      They are not even tactically schooled. They see the world in context of previous news articles. If the EU once announced 1 million artillery shells and the actual number produced is lower, then everything is doom and gloom and Ukraine can’t possibly win. Same with this useless Taurus debate. Scholz said "nein" many months ago, but they can’t stop talking about it as if it decided about victory or defeat. Everybody knew Leopard 2 can’t be a "game changer" in an artillery war, but one picture of a destroyed Western tank and Russia is unstoppable!

      Although the details are still being finalized, defence sources say the federal government could contribute as much as $30 million to the plan, which was proposed at the opening of the Munich Security conference by Czech Republic President Petr Pavel.
      Pavel's government said it has been able to source up to 800,000 shells of NATO-standard calibre, along with shells of other calibres, from unidentified, non-NATO countries. It says it needs financial support to get the ammunition to Ukraine.

    The refocus on destroyed Crimean ships to divert discussion on avdivka feels like coping. I mean even Russia knows that their airforce and Navy are incomparably subpar to NATO. The best they can do is maybe slow them down in an actual fight. Russian ships hit with NATO weapons with NATO provided intelligence and targeting information are pale in comparison with what is happening in the front and honestly feels more like a PR attempt than anything else.
    Russia is a land power. That is the reason for the enormous amount of artillery and armor. That is why Ukraine will never win without direct NATO intervention.

      Russian air force subpar with NATO, 🤣🤣🤣
      You can't be serious right.
      Russian pilots have been fighting combat missions every single day for the last 2 years in contested air space covered with layers of air defense.
      NATO pilots have absolutely no experience in fighting against integrated air defenses the likes Russia has.
      Russian pilots have found and mastered the barriers and limitations of their aircraft and themselves.
      They are battle hardened fighters with hours sod combat hours under their belt.
      Their ground maintenance crews are well oiled machines.
      Most of NATO pilots have never shot a bullet in anger.
      Their bases and maintenance crews don't know what is to experience being bombed and fighting without air superiority and no communications.
      Their tactics and planes are untested. They have never been to war.
      Who do you think is the superior fighting force, again
      The ones with 2 years combat experience or the ones with no combat experience and untested aircraft

    Ever heard of the relationship between Artillery and casualties? If so, there is no way more Russians would have died in Avdivvka than Ukrainians. Any neutral military expert will confirm that Artillery is responsible for 80% of casualties. Ukraine lacks shells, Russia has abundant. There is of course the defensive advantage of 3 to 1 casualties that Ukraine has. But in Avdivvka the surplus of Russian soldiers undoes this. Russia also has air supremacy. DW, try to get neutral experts, for some realistic assessments.

    Why, the strategy of the West worked perfectly?
    The West already knew in 2008, when the idea of bringing Ukraine and Georgia into the western alliance was being pushed the first time, that Russia would most likely go to war over it. Georgia jumped the gun and got pounded to bits, but Ukraine managed to drag Russia into an 8-year long frozen conflict culminating in a 2 year-long hot war that cost Russia an incredible amount of people and military matarial, took a huge toll on its economy and allowed the West to demonize and isolate Russia from those nations in the West that at least tried to get along with them. Now Russia is so exhausted they won't be a problem when the US focuses on China. That Ukraine gets thrown to the wolves in that process was part of the plan from the beginning. Or have you forgotten how the US treated the Afghans, and the Kurds, and the Iraqis, and dozens of "allies" before that?

Conclusion: Russia holds the cards.

    The West hasn't quit support, it's working around the slow production of ammunition.

    Although the details are still being finalized, defence sources say the federal government could contribute as much as $30 million to the plan, which was proposed at the opening of the Munich Security conference by Czech Republic President Petr Pavel.
    Pavel's government said it has been able to source up to 800,000 shells of NATO-standard calibre, along with shells of other calibres, from unidentified, non-NATO countries. It says it needs financial support to get the ammunition to Ukraine.

Most likely Russia would agree to a peace settlement that would include transfer of Donbas and Ukrainian neutrality, similar to terms almost agreed in 2022 until Boris Johnson's interference ended the negotiations. Europe is not in a position either to support Ukraine given that its population is declining and aging and the German economy, the main engine of growth, is faltering.

Crimea has valuable resources such as titanium, salt, limestone, and some natural gas deposits. If Russia were to control these regions, it would gain access to these minerals and resources, contributing to its economic and industrial capabilities.

    So what has changed now for the West to conclude that this time around additional arms and ammunition will lead to better results for Ukraine?? Especially when Ukraine is facing a dire situation regarding manpower. The average age of the Ukraine military is 43 !! And the troops have been fighting for 2 years without a break. They badly need a rest. And forget additional troops, there are no men to relieve the troops on the frontline.
    One feels that the desperate Western obsessions to deliver arms to Ukraine is quite illogical.
