From WSJ: Western Officials Knew Ukraine Didn’t Have Enough Weapons and Training For Counteroffensive:
The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday that Western officials knew Ukrainian forces didn’t have enough training or equipment for their counteroffensive but hoped they would be able to break through anyway.
The report reads: “When Ukraine launched its big counteroffensive this spring, Western military officials knew Kyiv didn’t have all the training or weapons–from shells to warplanes–that it needed to dislodge Russian forces. But they hoped Ukrainian courage and resourcefulness would carry the day. They Haven’t.”
All it takes to traverse vast minefields is a bit of courage and resourcefulness!
