Zelenskyy pleads for Patriot air defense systems to defend Kharkiv | DW News

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Kyiv to reaffirm the Biden administration's support for Ukraine. Blinken has acknowledged that delays in Congress passing a military aid package have made Ukraine more vulnerable to Russian attacks. America's top diplomat also insisted the Kremlin must pay for the destruction its invasion has caused.

Ukraine’s problem is they have no reserves left. There list of experienced combat veterans and experienced officers is getting smaller. All the weapons in the world will make no difference for them without fresh recruits. Even then it will take months to train these new recruits from basic training to how to operate various weapon systems. Then there is the training of new officers that takes time as well. Then there is Ukraine’s weapons systems intergration issue. You can’t take various weapon systems from different countries And try to use them in a combined arms component. Each weapons is entirely different from another and without a centralized command structure these weapons will not be as effective as they should be. And what happened to the hardened built up defense line like bunkers and fighting positions? Want to know? Embezzlement! The companies that were contracted to build the structures took the money but didn’t build a thing. The big bosses pocketed the funds. Some of the money my country, the U.S. , went into the pockets of Ukrainian politicians. So until Ukraine straightens out its manpower problems they could be sent all the arms they want or need but there really isn’t anyone left to use them.
