Ukraine’s Ammunition Shortage Strengthens Putin, says Zelensky
Ukrainian President Zelensky: Ammunition shortage in Ukraine strengthens Putin
During his speech at the Munich Security Conference, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a bold statement, claiming that his country’s difficulties in accessing weapons are only serving to strengthen Russian President Vladimir Putin in the ongoing war.
Zelensky pointed out that Ukraine’s shortage of arms is actually playing into the hands of Russia. He emphasized that the lack of artillery and long-range weapons is allowing Putin to adapt to the current intensity of the conflict.
One specific example that Zelensky mentioned was the city of Avdiivka, which Ukraine was forced to withdraw from due to the ammunition shortage experienced by its army.
The Ukrainian president also shed light on the fact that the US military aid, which could help alleviate the country’s ammunition shortage, has been delayed by Congress for months.
Zelensky’s passionate plea did not stop there. He urged the international community to not ask Ukraine when the war will come to an end, but rather to question how Putin can continue to fight with the same force despite the ongoing conflict.
This powerful statement from Zelensky serves as a wake-up call to the global community, highlighting the urgent need for support to address the ammunition shortage in Ukraine and ultimately weaken Putin’s position in the war.
