– “Avenger” systems to be sent in small numbers (4) which are essentially Stinger missiles attached to a Hummer

– after training for Ukrainian operators is completed;

– Dwindling amounts of basic ammunition continue to be sent to Ukraine, prolonging the conflict, but not in quantities to even allow Ukraine to hold what it has;

The war in Ukraine is draining Western munition stockpiles

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)2 Comments

The United States alone has given more than 1 million artillery shells, according to a report from the Department of Defense. But the U.S. is not alone. Although not to that scale, European nations have been steadily aiding Ukraine’s defense efforts. Now other allied nations are starting to worry they won’t have enough armaments for their own self-defense. The Associated Press reported that European nations are worried about their arms supplies should Russian aggression reach them.

– Russian missile and drone strikes continue targeting and crippling Ukraine’s power grid,

– Ukraine is attempting to target a major dam at Nova Kakhkovka to flood the Dnieper River and disrupt Russian supply lines to Kherson city;

– Western analysts admit Ukraine is in a critical situation and risks being completely cut off from its Western sponsors;

– The US is putting pieces in place to set up a buffer zone in Ukraine to prevent Russian forces from taking western Ukraine and perhaps even Odesa to prevent what’s left of Ukraine from becoming landlocked.

For liberation of Russian-speaking Donbass, that the Ukrainian forces were shelling since 2014, demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, Russia has started on February 24, 2022, a special military operation. The New York Times stressed it on June 25, Western boots are on the ground since 2014, special operation forces, instructors, intelligence officers. And my assertion is that Western operatives, especially French ones, were even taken prisoners in May, in Mariupol. But I am wondering about line troops
