After a delay of half a year, the United States finally provided military assistance to Ukraine. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg noted that it was not too late, but noted that the delay had tangible consequences. What does it mean to have brought tangible consequences? That is, Ukraine has suffered heavy human losses, and Ukraine's territory has been lost again, and this is the tragic consequence.
Stoltenberg stressed that without American military supplies, the Ukrainian army will shrink by 80% or more in terms of firepower, and there is a serious shortage of air defense systems and their ammunition. U.S. military aid to Ukraine accounts for 80% of the entire Western military aid to Ukraine. If the United States does not provide assistance, even if Germany, Britain, and France provide a large amount of military aid, it will actually account for a relatively light weight.
Stoltenberg attaches great importance to U.S. military aid, and in this state, he has been able to call on the other 31 NATO members to help Ukraine.
In this regard, the Wall Street Journal believes that the new US aid to Ukraine is unlikely to fundamentally change the situation in Ukraine. Because external military assistance does not solve the main problems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, what is lacking is personnel, and a large number of personnel are consumed, and this is the core problem.
The Wall Street Journal also believes that this military aid is likely to help Ukraine deter Russia at best until European allies are able to provide additional military aid next year, and that the new military aid could also force Russia to attack Ukraine faster than they planned.
They believe that the military assistance provided by the United States is limited, and the United States cannot provide more human support, which is a fatal shortcoming for Ukraine. At the same time, he also pointed out that before the US military assistance is in place, Russia may launch an attack in advance and take away those territories that Russia considers its own territory, so this military conflict will be further anxious and cruel!
