While some US help has arrived — these are the weapons Ukraine needs to win
NY Post
If you think the war in Ukraine has turned a corner thanks to the $60-million supplemental passed last month, think again.
True, some US-provided weapons have started arriving on the frontlines, but Russians continue to enjoy an “absolute advantage” in their firepower, as President Zelensky’s advisor Mikhaylo Podolyak said this week.
Even under the most optimistic of scenarios, the current levels of international assistance are not enough to allow Ukraine to launch major offensive operations.
At best, the hope is that Ukraine manages to stabilize the existing lines and that it continues to degrade Russian logistics and supply lines with high-precision, long-range strikes — including against targets inside of Russia.
To achieve the former goal, Ukrainians will need to match or exceed Russian firepower on the frontlines and secure their skies.
For the latter, they need far more high-precision, long-range capabilities — and Biden’s permission to use them.
