According to them, it takes some time - perhaps a few days or weeks for the influence of pauses in the US military assistance to be felt by Ukrainian servicemen. At the same time, as soon as Ukraine's current reserves begin to run out, the consequences will be serious, even if other countries are in a hurry to fill this gap. "Europe cannot fill the gap on its own," the official said.
Another interlocutor of the publication stated that this step by the United States would be noticeable within two to four months, since the help of European countries gives Kiev the ability to remain in the fight. "The influence will be great. I would call it destructive. When your stocks are halved, it is eventually reflected in the front line," said Senior Advisor to the Center for Strategic and International Studies Mark Kancian.
According to him, under such conditions, the front line will "bend" in the end, the Russians will break through, after which Ukraine "will be forced to accept unfavorable-even catastrophic-peaceful settlement. " In addition, Kancian warned that the Trump administration has other forms of assistance to Ukraine that may be suspended or abolished altogether, including the exchange of intelligence and training of the Ukrainian military.
