A Ukrainian soldier in Bakhmut said they were low on ammunition and had to limit their firing. Officials in Europe are worried Ukraine doesn't have enough supplies to push back Russian forces. Russian troops have been slowly pushing back Ukraine's troops for months, in what commanders on both sides have called a "meat grinder." Another Ukrainian soldier in the area told the BBC that his men had to ration rounds on their L119 light artillery gun. NATO's chief, Jens Stoltenberg, also gave a warning in February that Ukraine was using ammunition faster than its allies could produce it.

For a military at war, it's a challenge to get the right gear to the right troops at the right time. Western countries have scrambled to deliver that gear to Ukraine, overcoming political debates and logistical hurdles, but getting it to the frontlines presents a whole other problem.

Diego Herrera Carcedo/Anadolu Agency via Getty ImagesFurther complicating the situation is the fact that the Ukrainian military is a dynamic force. Many Ukrainian troops are also rotating through the US and European countries for training.

  + stars: | 2023-04-21 | by ( Jake Epstein | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Ukraine has long sought NATO membership, something Vladimir Putin deeply opposes. Ukraine has long sought NATO membership. As early as April 2008, NATO said it "welcomed" aspirations from Ukraine and Georgia — the latter was attacked by Russia later that year — to join the military alliance. Finland officially became the 31st member of the military alliance earlier this month, a huge setback for Putin. in a Friday tweet that included a link to a media report about Stoltenberg telling Zelenskyy Ukraine belongs in NATO.
☆ Ukrainians are riding tanks captured from an elite Russian unit into battle in Bakhmut, but their new gear may not last long

That includes T-80 tanks captured the 1st Guards Tank Army, an elite Russian armored unit. But Russian tanks are designed for Russian forces, and Ukraine might get limited use out of them. No wonder Western observers have been thrilled by reports of Ukraine capturing hundreds of Russian tanks and turning them against the invaders. "You can see an entire unit composed of nothing but captured Russian tanks." Interestingly, Kofman believes Ukraine doesn't need tanks as much as it needs armored vehicles to carry infantry into battle.

☆ Another big counterpunch against Russia could cost more lives than Kyiv's forces can afford to lose, a Ukrainian senior official warns
  + stars: | 2023-03-14 | by ( Chris Panella | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
A big offense against Russia could cost more lives than Kyiv can afford to lose, a Ukrainian senior official warns. Both sides have been fighting "a war of attrition" in the eastern regions of Ukraine. "If you have more resources, you more actively attack," the senior official said. More than a year into the war, a Ukrainian offensive could be too costly for Kyiv's limited forces. The comments come after months of bloody battles in eastern Ukraine, where most of the war's fighting has transitioned.
☆ The biggest problem with Russia's tanks in Ukraine is the way Moscow tried to use them
  + stars: | 2023-03-07 | by ( Alex Hollings | Sandboxx News | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +21 min
By September, the tally of lost and captured Russian tanks reached 1,000 — more than all the tanks in the British, French, German, and Finnish militaries combined. The first time these British tanks found a fight, only 25 of the 49 of them actually moved when ordered to commence the attack. Nonetheless, before the conflict was over, Churchill himself would decide tanks had, once again, run their course, declaring, "we have too much armor — tanks are finished." And that is the real lesson we can glean from the performance of Russian tanks in Ukraine over the past year. Maxim Shemetov/ReutersThis point becomes evident when you look at Russian tank losses recorded by the Oryx Blog between February and April 2022, when Russian tank losses were at their absolute worst.

☆ Putin's Orthodox Christmas ceasefire has started, but Ukraine thinks it's a trick and says 'it's too late for the Kremlin to think of God'
  + stars: | 2023-01-06 | by ( Grace Eliza Goodwin | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Russian President Vladimir Putin called for a ceasefire in honor of Russian Orthodox Christmas. But Ukraine think it's a trap intended to give Russia time to regroup without Ukrainian attacks. Ukraine's Ministry of Defense tweeted, "isn't it too late for the Kremlin to think of God?" Mykhailo Podolyak, a top advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said on social media Thursday that the "'Christmas truce' is a cynical trap & an element of propaganda." Though the Kremlin called the truce, it's also unclear if Russia itself is abiding by it.
☆ Trump's yearslong crusade against Ukraine has finally come home to roost as Republicans call for abandoning Kyiv
  + stars: | 2022-10-20 | by ( John Haltiwanger | Sonam Sheth | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +10 min
US aid to Ukraine could be in jeopardy if Republicans win the House in the midterms. Several GOP lawmakers and candidates have signaled they would support reducing or cutting off Ukraine aid. In April, 10 House Republicans voted against a bill allowing the Biden administration to more easily lend military equipment to Ukraine. The following month, 57 House Republicans voted "no" on a nearly $40 billion aid package for Ukraine. Some GOP opposition to continuing aid to Ukraine is tied to Trump's "America First" policy vis-a-vis foreign affairs.
☆ Russia's war in Ukraine raises a harrowing question: How widespread would fallout from a nuclear bomb be?
  + stars: | 2022-10-14 | by ( Aria Bendix | Azmi Haroun | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
"Ukraine doesn't have nuclear weapons, so the risk of nuclear war in this scenario is if, somehow, the conflict escalated to pull in NATO countries or the US," she added. "That raises the risk of nuclear confrontation because some of the NATO countries have nuclear weapons." The US, for instance, has about 5,500 nuclear weapons, while Russia has about 6,000, according to the Federation of American Scientists. When a nuclear bomb strikes, it sets off a flash of light, a giant orange fireball, and building-toppling shockwaves. The fallout of a nuclear bomb also depends on how a country chooses to detonate it.

The satellite network has been "very effective," Zelenskyy told Wired in an interview published on Thursday. I am really grateful for the support of Starlink," the Ukrainian leader told Wired. Internet connections have been instrumental in Ukraine's war effort, with the "IT Army" combatting Russian cyberattacks on Ukrainian infrastructure.
