Medgangen på slagmarken har gitt vestlige makter blod på tann. Nå sender de nye våpen og ammunisjon i håp om også å knekke et forventet russisk fremstøt i Donbass.

Nye amerikanske våpenlaster er ventet å bli sendt lørdag.

The first flight containing arms from the United States’ latest £612 million offer of arms is expected to arrive in the region as early as Saturday. The shipment will include Western-made Howitzer artillery and thousands of shells.

After numerous Russian failings in Ukraine, Washington and its international partners see the shift to the Donbas as an opportunity to further tip the war in Kyiv’s favour, according to analysts.

Zelenskyj kom med en shoppingliste og den har USA og Storbritannia innfridd:

The first to arrive will be Howitzer artillery systems, made by British defence giant BAE Systems, as well American Mi-17 helicopters.

Armed with fresh Western weaponry, accompanied by 40,000 rounds provided by the Americans, the hope is that Ukraine’s army should be able to go toe-to-toe with their Russian counterparts, who have made shelling a key part of their invasion.

Helikoptre og panservogner er en betydelig oppgradering av ukrainernes slagkraft, russerne vil si det er en opptrapping.

The UK is following Washington’s lead, and offered to train Kyiv’s forces in how to use the Mastiff armoured personnel carrier, which is seen as key to enhancing Ukraine’s military mobility in the Donbas.

Along with this, Starstreak anti-aircraft missile systems will be sent to the country to help Ukraine in its aerial battle versus Russia.

USA sender kamikaze-dronen Switchblade, 300 i tallet, som er langt mer effektiv enn russernes. Russland ble rammet av sanksjonene etter Krim-innmarsjen i 2014.

Vestmaktene har følelsen av at de kan slå Putin, også på hjemmebane i Donbass.

Having once believed Kyiv could fall within days of the start of the invasion on February 24, they now believe their supplies could help Ukraine’s armed forces unexpectedly win the war.

Hva har Putin å svare med?
