Former military officer Frank Ledwidge said the weapons Kyiv needs to win the war are in the U.S. reserve storage.
Nine months into the war triggered by the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, Kyiv troops have delivered a series of major defeats to Moscow.
But after a muddy season which made fighting a difficult slog, and with winter threatening to further slow down Ukraine's counteroffensive, the war does not seem like it will be ending soon. "Ukraine's always told us that they believe that they can defeat Russia by expelling them from the remaining land that they occupy using mechanized brigades, which means large numbers of soldiers with what's called armored mobility [armored vehicles or personal carriers] and tanks," Ledwidge said.
This strategy resulted in a high number of casualties for Russian troops in the beginning of the war, as well as the destruction of a large portion of the tanks Moscow had deployed in Ukraine.
