Ukraine Receives Fresh Supplies of weapons
The Ukrainian people’s will to resist is fundamental, but it is not enough on its own; partisans armed only with Molotov cocktails are no match for tanks. But Europe has provided a wave of support in the wake of the Russian invasion, and even Germany, previously reluctant to export arms, is rushing to supply advanced weapons to Ukraine. These will prove crucial in the next phase as combat shifts to urban centers.
Perhaps the most surprising new addition to the Ukrainian arsenal is a consignment of Bayraktar TB2 drones from Turkey. These Predator-like drones, armed with small laser-guided missiles, have proved surprisingly effective against Russian forces, defying expectations that they would be easily shot down, and destroying numerous Russian vehicles.
The Forum on the Arms Trade has been keeping track of all the weapons transfers to Ukraine announced so far. Looking just at portable anti-tank weapons, the list of what has been promised by different countries so looks like this, in descending order of numbers:


Sweden: 5,000 AT4 anti-tank weapons,
Denmark: 2,700 anti-tank weapons,
Norway: 2,000 anti-tank weapons
United Kingdom: 2,000 NLAW short-range anti-tank missiles
Finland: 1,500 single-shot anti-tank weapons
Germany: 1,000 anti-tank weapons
Netherlands: 400 rocket-propelled grenade launchers
Belgium: 200 anti-tank weapons
Estonia: Unspecified number of Javelin anti-tank missiles

This makes a total of some 14,800 weapons, on top of Ukraine’s existing equipment.
In the coming battle for the cities of Ukraine, such weapons are likely to be decisive. Russia does not have a significant advantage in terms of manpower on the ground, and will be relying on the firepower and protection provided by armored vehicles to tip the balance. In urban combat though, tanks and other vehicles are extremely vulnerable to short-range anti-tank weapons. They are also some use against troops holed up in buildings.

This will only prolong the massacres and make things bloody. If Russia starts taking lots of losses, they will simply move to the periphery of the cities and carpet bomb everywhere..

96,000 war hardened volunteers are set to join Ukraine in the coming days. The oligarchs have lost lots of fortunes and yachts. Sanctions are pummeling the Russian economy right and center. For how long do you think Russia will hold?

A weapon is as good as the man behind it. Of what use will the weapons be when the Ukraine military and civilians are seeing and using it for the first time, with no time to learn how to use them.
He who donates his head (Ukraine land) for the breaking of the coconut (War) will likely not be alive to eat from it.

How?

People don't understand

If it were to be open hostility like a war between USA and Russia, Ukraine will be a wasteland even with a nuclear weapon

But the kinda operation Russia is conducting is the type that opens them up for ambush

To make matters worse, most of the weapons are portable hence the advantage

Plus, why do people think Ukraine have no single military?

have you ever heard of the word "obliteration bombing"? Maybe you don't know what those Russians are capable of.

The more the resistance, the more the use of dangerous weapons and death of Ukrainians

Ukraine Foreign Minister says #NATO is "weak and indecisive," that it "cannot do anything."

He even issued a vague threat: "This is a weakness for which the alliance, unfortunately, will pay."

there is nothing like that. They are all mercenaries from the west. You think Ukraine can fight Russia without western mercenaries and weapons?

You think if this was a full scale war this wouldn’t be over in 3 days ?
Ukraine is their neighbor, it will be dump for Putin to turn his next door neighbor into a waste land. Hence his reason for insisting on special OP cos it’s obvious he’s targeting the military installations and their leader.

sanctions and isolation will kill Russia. internal unrest and hunger . No country will allow Russian refuges. Russian billionaires can only come to Africa maybe.

Stay sharp! When in war especially with a less powerful nation… sanctions won’t immediately your capabilities nor will it affect your existing weapon systems nor will it affect your generals strategies.. especially with your neighbor.

Before now I said the pursuit of war in Ukraine will not favor Russia but will make it very easy for the USA/NATO.
I also.said zelensky comments and stance of the issue of Russia only complicates the issue and will force the hand of Russia to pursue war!
So we have a complicated problem.in the name of pursuing protection of interest you will end up with aggression(which is too costly)
It is too costly for Russia (Putin has come to realize that)
It is too costly for Ukraine(zelensky also has come to realize that)
