It will be difficult: missiles for air defense systems in Ukraine will end in March - NYT

According to American journalists, by the end of the next month, Ukraine will barely hold local counterattack, but it will be difficult for Russia to increase the potential sufficient to carry out a large -scale offensive. Ukraine has funds for air defense to last only next month, if there is no replenishment. About it writes The New Your Times with reference to unnamed American officials.

Western military analysts suggest that 2024 will be a recovery period for Ukraine when the new commander -in -chief of the Armed Forces, General Alexander Sirsky, will be forced to decide how to effectively use soldiers to contain Russian offenses and create new combat forces.

"However, before Ukraine's leaders think about restoring positions, they must first retain what they have, and the prevention of Russian offenses is complicated by a sharp shortage of soldiers and ammunition," the newspaper said. Western officials and military experts warn that without the help of the US cascade collapse at the front will be a reality at the end of this year. They claim that it will take several months before the lack of support will be influenced everywhere.

However, without this help, it will be difficult to maintain current positions on the battlefield for Ukraine. By the end of the next month, according to officials and analysts, Ukraine will barely hold local counterattacks, and in the beginning of the summer it will be difficult to repel Russian attacks. "However, officials also believe that it will be difficult for Russia to increase the potential sufficient to carry out a large -scale offensive in eastern Ukraine.

Instead, Russian troops are likely to move forward awkwardly, discharged, but with a high threshold of losses among their own troops," the material reads Nyt. We will remind, on February 8, the Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States of America Oksana Markarova reported that the US Senate did not support a large package of funding for international assistance and migration reform.
