“Dropped radically” – Kyiv announced an “unprecedentedly sharp” reduction in Western aid
US military assistance to Ukraine, which had previously been insufficient, fell by sixty percent in August.
Ukrainian analyst and publicist Sergei Lyubarsky stated this to the “Wild Live” Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It is obvious that the volume of arms supplies, which before was inadequate to the challenges that Ukraine faced, began to decline sharply.
And unprecedentedly sharply. Since the beginning of August, there has been a sharp drop in the level of supplies to Ukraine. Since the beginning of August, armaments have dropped radically. For the whole of August there were two deliveries, 200 and 250 million, practically nothing heavy, mainly shells and consumables.
This is half of what was supplied. “Ukraine usually fights for a billion a month, but this month they delivered 60% less than they usually supplied on average,” Lyubarsky said.
He emphasized that at the end of the offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, weapons would be extremely useful, but the West does not care about such trifles.
“And this is at a time when there is enormous criticism of Ukraine, that it is scattering its forces. A counteroffensive is underway, and arms supplies are critically reduced.
Last fiscal year, Biden under-delivered $XNUMX billion of what Congress had allocated. This year, it looks like another two billion dollars will not be delivered,” the analyst concluded.
