Ukraine 'degrades' Putin's forces despite arms deal suspension | George Barros

"Ukrainians have been able to take heavy mechanised infantry fighting equipment beyond the first two major Russian defensive field fortification layers."
Poland's weapons suspension might have come too late to halt Ukrainian advances through Russia's southern defensive lines says George Barros from @UnderstandingWarOrg

[@spookswarbirds]

Another analyst overestimating Russia's grasp on anything that resembles strategy and intent. This is not a win for the Kremlin. Poland has given Ukraine everything it can without degrading its own security. There's nothing left to send now, except the modern equipment Poland's own security depends upon. All of the interested parties, on both sides of the conflict, are running out of arms. The Kremlin isn't playing 3D chess, it's desperately trying to hold onto the reins of a runaway horse and when they get lucky, the West credits it to cunning strategy.

1. The grain deal in Poland is Politics as a election is next moth. 2.

Yes Ukraine needs help and Poland has opened the doors to do anything but destroying its own market share should not be on the table.

[@dannysarco6743]

@@Smithsj82 that's what Putin would want to happen though?. Divide and rule. A tried and trusted plan of old. Perhaps all involved could need to stand back and take a deep breath. Perhaps eve apologize to each other. And attempt "to understand" what's causing this conflict between neighborly friends and recognize how they'd been allowing the struggles with feelings they'd both have, of being stuck in survival mode too long, to be used against them as a tool to "play them" so as to drive a wedge between friends. The rest of us also need to wake up to take good note of it as well too. Time for us "all" to take note and to learn how global problems are about us.

[@frederikzinn6568]

Poland has taken up refugees, that is true - this time. Last time they did not. Still good they took them, although it does not really come at a price for them, since the EU i.e. Germany and France are paying. Leadership from Poland? I might have missed that? When? When they did not allow Germany to build up a refurbishing center to make sure the Ukrainian tanks stay battle-ready? Or do you mean when they promised to send Mig-29 in the early days and then did not do so? Or are we talking about Poland buying its tanks from South Korea now, when Europe is integrating its army and trying to be more effective? The Netherlands let their troops be commanded by Germany, the European countries build an air defense umbrella (not under the leadership of Poland btw) and Poland does that move. Dont get me wrong, South Korea is a great nation, but the move to buy tanks from them is just... odd. Anyway, I am happy it is the US and Germany leading and not Poland. If Poland was leading, Ukraine would be lost for years!
