Due to weapons deficit: ISW warns of a risky situation at the Armed Forces at the Front

According to experts, the active offensive of the invaders can occur if the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian military from partners will be reduced. The lack of ammunition and military equipment, caused by delays in supply from the United States, can seriously undermine defensive readiness in the area of ​​the current front line. This creates favorable conditions for the possible use of the Russian military strategic advantage in order to carry out a sudden and unexpected breakthrough.

About it reports the Institute of War Study (ISW). According to military analysts, Ukraine provides priority to sectors that are subjected to the most intense Russian offensive operations, which can lead to vulnerable points in other areas. Experts also expressed fears about the possibility of using the Russian troops of this situation to advance forward. They warned that such a breakthrough can happen, especially if the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian military will continue to decline.

ISW emphasized that Russia's preservation of initiative throughout the front line increases the likelihood of such a scenario, as it gives the Russian military leadership the opportunity to freely regulate the intensity of operations on any area of ​​the front in accordance with their strategic purposes. The source also stated that the Ukrainian military is likely to try to mitigate problems caused by lack of ammunition and identify priority areas on the front.

But this hides the risks to the Ukrainian forces. We will remind, on March 12 the United States announced a package of security assistance to Ukraine worth $ 300 million. It will include anti -tank missiles, artillery ammunition, including Himars jet systems, ammunition for shooting weapons and more. On February 25, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that he was "positive" from the partners' response to the Ukrainian side of the US farm missiles atACMS with a range of up to 300 km.
