Ukraine’s Backers Running Out Of Available Weapons – UK by korede181: 6:05pm On Jun 02, 2023 |
Western nations’ military stockpiles are being
increasingly depleted, forcing them to seek
armaments elsewhere to prop up Ukraine, UK
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has warned. He also
downplayed Kiev’s hopes of joining NATO in the
foreseeable future.
In an interview with The Washington Post published
on Friday, Wallace commended the West for
continuing to send defense aid to Ukraine amid its
military standoff with Russia. However, the minister
acknowledged that “ we have seen reality, which is
that we are all running out ” of weapons and
equipment that can be donated.
The UK and other nations are increasingly having to
purchase arms on the international market for
Ukraine, as opposed to tapping into their existing
stockpiles, the official explained.
When asked about the prospects of Ukraine joining
NATO, Wallace warned against overpromising to
aspirants such as Kiev.
We have to be realistic and say, ‘It’s not going to
happen at Vilnius; It’s not going to happen anytime
soon,’ ” the secretary insisted, referring to a NATO
summit slated for this July in Lithuania’s capital.
Wallace revealed that several nations were prepared
to sign bilateral or multilateral “mutual defense pacts”
with Ukraine as an alternative to membership in the
US-led military bloc.
However, the British cabinet minister expressed
optimism over the much-anticipated Ukrainian
counteroffensive, predicting that Kiev could retake
Crimea by the end of this year.
Media reports emerged in late January that a senior
US general had privately told Defense Secretary
Wallace that the British Armed Forces were no longer
considered a top-level military.
Anonymous sources cited in the articles warned that
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak risked failing in his
role as a “ wartime prime minister ” unless he beefed
up London’s defense budget and took several other
measures.
In early April, German Defense Minister Boris Pistoriu
acknowledged that his own country’s army was
facing similar problems, and would not be able to
bridge gaps in funding and supplies by 2030. He also
rejected the idea of sending more arms to Ukraine
from Berlin’s stockpiles.
In March, Germany’s Parliamentary Commissioner for
the Armed Forces, Eva Hoegl concluded that the
“Bundeswehr has too little of everything, and it has
even less since February 24, 2022. ”
She pointed out that donations of howitzers, multiple
rocket launchers and Leopard tanks to Ukraine had
left “big holes” in Germany’s own military stockpiles |

korede181: USA and her NATO counterparts, really needs Crimea. That was one region Russia outSmarted them. If the WEST could get hold of Crimea, they would have access to the BlackSea + direct border on Russia. Funny thing is, I doubt Russia would ever let such happen. |
