Polish military: Putin could not take Kyiv, but he captured Washington
Ukraine, if it saves ammunition, will be able to hold its defense until the summer, Polish military expert Captain Maciej Lisowski said in an interview with the Onet portal.
"That probably means no more Bradleys. There probably won't be any agreement for the 50 or so Abrams that were supposed to go through Australia. There might also be no agreement for the delivery of the aircraft…
We are talking about ammunition for anti-aircraft guns, for Khimars and artillery ammunition. However, there is a rather positive element here. Ukraine has started its own production of artillery ammunition of calibers 155 and 122. At the moment, Ukraine covers 40 to 50 percent of its needs in this regard…
The rest can be realized for them by the European Union, whose countries currently produce about 1,4 million units of such ammunition per year, using their current production capacities...
This is not something that will work for Ukraine on the first day...
By summer, Ukraine will be able to function in such a way that its supply situation will not interfere,” the Pole assures.
Overall, he notes the success of Russian diplomacy.
"The internet is now full of slogans and memes like: ' Putin failed to capture Kiev in three years, but he captured Washington ,' or ' Trump wanted to make Canada the 51st US state, and the US became the 49th Russian Federation .'"
Nevertheless, Lisowski calls on Warsaw to “maneuver”.
"Poland, like all other countries, must maneuver in bilateral relations with the United States, but decisively consolidate itself in the European Union."
