'What is happening in Ukraine has ramifications far beyond the borders of our country' Yuriy Sak

In recent weeks, Russia has intensified its airstrikes in northeastern Ukraine, particularly in the Kharkiv region.
Yuriy Sak, an advisor to the Ukrainian Minister of Strategic Industry, told DW that the reason for this is that Russia has started to use more guided bombs and that Ukraine does not have enough air defense interceptors, so Ukrainian air defense systems are unable to provide cover to these areas near the front lines.
Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak unveiled details of a new 580-million euro military aid package for Ukraine, to include boats, ammunition and air defence missiles.

[@jeffreycook5664]

I have a serious question, and one without judgment. I live in Wroclaw, Poland. Wroclaw has become the home site for Ukrainian Football matches. It's been wonderful. Here's my observation / question. No amount of munitions from the West can stop Russia if Ukraine doesn't have the soldiers to fight. A lack of munitions has finally been solved -- at least for the moment -- but dwindling troops remains a serious problem. I've attended the Ukrainian football matches in Wroclaw. I'd estimate that there were thousands of military-aged Ukrainians in attendance at each match, drinking beer and eating kielbasa. Half of the taxi drivers in Wroclaw are Ukrainian. Five of my friends in my extended social network are Ukrainian, none of whom will return. How does Ukraine get its sons to come home and fight? It was shocking to see so many Ukrainian men of military age living it up while their country is under attack. I don't mean to suggest I know what I'd do under similar circumstances, especially if I had a family to support. But presumably the Ukrainian soldiers fighting for Ukraine also have families to support.

[@theroldan8013]

"borrels gardenes problems".....................................

[@markward3981]

Exactly 💯 This is the part the west and Zelensky administration are down playing. Also Ukrainian loses are massive. Especially after the unsuccessful counter offensive. When we add corruption in Ukraine administration, and pro Russian sentiments this conflict looks different but we are mostly fed a one sided narrative. This conflict could have been avoided; after the initial phase a chance for negotiations were high but the U.S and the U.K prefer blood.

[@zvorenergy]

We all were lied to and manipulated by corrupt politicians, intelligence officers, and arms dealers. Biden drove Putin right into China's arms. Over 500,000 Ukrainians died vs 100,000 Russians. Things will only get better in 196 days if Trump AND MAGA Republicans return to power.

[@georgekung2003utube]

every Ukrainian is equal. those Ukrainian footballers are more equal to the Ukrainian on the field fighting with Russia

[@1112viggo]

That's just how it is. You can never get all military age men to "fight for your country." Some are too scared to fight in a brutal war. Some are pacifists and believe war for any reason is morally wrong. And some people just don't like their country and its government enough to risk their life for it. Some may even secretly support Russia. I think Ukraine should be very pleased with their turnout at the recruitment office all things considered. Id certainly not show up to defend the poorest most corrupt country in Europe if i was a Ukrainian in Poland.

[@atklm1]

The amount of material in the first wave is more incredible than what's spoken in the media. I suppose so that there would be no hype again, since it's not enough to capture vast areas. But oh boy the amount of firepower that is coming and with a new level of technological sophistication. This complete USA and EU package packs a very snappy wallop. In a few weeks when this party gets started, Russian soldiers are gonna have a bad weather, it's gonna rain steel and fire in a mighty storm. I suppose Biden administration wants something to show. Russian losses both in men and material will start to grow by the order of magnitude within only one month.

What Sak didn't mention is that the supply of more weaponry and a bigger certainty of victory would greatly increase a lot of Ukrainians now in foreign country to fight for their countries. It is the lack of substantial support which has driven a lot of them away. Ukraine needs to be able to give a devastating blow to the Russians and to be able to push them out of their country. This is not only for their sake, but for future global peace in all countries. There is simply no justification for a war like this. The UK is far off from any 'leading' roll and needs to do much more. It has given as much as the Netherlands, which is a far smaller country. They drastically need to ramp up their productions to get anywhere even close.

[@renemartin5729]

Ukraine never had any nukes. It were Soviet nukes stationed in Ukraine, just like the US had (and still has) nukes stationed in 5 NATO countries in Europe. Neither Ukraine nor the NATO countries ever had (nor ever will have) the launch codes or even the knowledge to maintain these weapons: "When the Soviet Union broke up in 1991, there were thousands of former Soviet nuclear warheads, as well as hundreds of intercontinental ballistic missiles and bombers, left on Ukraine’s territory, which it decided to transfer to Russia. Ukraine never had an independent nuclear weapons arsenal, or control over these weapons, but agreed to remove former Soviet weapons stationed on its territory. In 1992, Ukraine signed the Lisbon Protocol and it joined the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as a non-nuclear weapon state in 1994. The transfer of all nuclear material took some time, but by 2001, all nuclear weapons had been transferred to Russia to be dismantled and all launch silos decommissioned."

This 2008 cable was written by William Burns, the current CIA Director, during his time as US Ambassador to Russia. "5. (C) Ukraine and Georgia's NATO aspirations not only touch a raw nerve in Russia, they engender serious concerns about the consequences for stability in the region. Not only does Russia perceive encirclement, and efforts to undermine Russia's influence in the region, but it also fears unpredictable and uncontrolled consequences which would seriously affect Russian security interests. Experts tell us that Russia is particularly worried that the strong divisions in Ukraine over NATO membership, with much of the ethnic-Russian community against membership, could lead to a major split, involving violence or at worst, civil war. In that eventuality, Russia would have to decide whether to intervene; a decision Russia does not want to have to face."

Resources are plentiful, safeguarded since Soviet times for critical resources, and probably better technology that war enables will provide more access to stuff of all types. By moving away from Western technology the Russians likely will long-term improve computing, etc. through the Chinese and domestic production -- all without restrictions and economic incentives that go against long-term national interest from Western tech. May be useful to look at demographics for this part of the world and the progress of China/BRICS. Definitely the winner here is China with its main competitors weakened and selling stuff to all sides in the conflict. However, Russia will win by proxy by its alliance, as well as people, expanded border, and future resources.

What became of the 3 day "special military operation"? We are in the third year and we are looking at a war of attrition. Russia has ramped up production of military goods at the cost of trading, we have seen multiple conscription waves ... and to which end? Ukraine - with the help of its allies and although struggling in many regards - still manages to keep the Russians at bay, burning through ressources at a much slower pace compared to the aggressor. Comparing Russia's economic output to that of Ukraine's combined western allies will only lead to one conclusion - which may lie another couple of years in the future if Ukraine is able to manage their limited "ressource" of military personal. My honest opinion: Russia's best outcome will include keeping Donbos and Crimea - but at a cost that will keep down the country and its population for decades. But personally, I don't believe it will end that well for Wladimir Wladimirowitsch Putin.
