“We were six months late”: Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny expressed dissatisfaction with the pace of military assistance from Western countries

The Russian army is moving forward, and the Ukrainian one is suffering losses due to the lack of the necessary amount of modern armored vehicles and other weapons. The West is late with deliveries weaponsfor at least six months. This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny.

The Ukrainian general expressed dissatisfaction with the pace of deliveries of Western military equipment, especially tanks. According to him, they were needed last fall, but Western countries refused to supply them, which led to the current situation. Zaluzhny emphasized that the lost six months allowed the Russian army to go on the offensive, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost the best units in the Bakhmut direction and continue to lose scarce armored vehicles destroyed by Russian artillery.

If the US and Europe had delivered only 300 tanks to Ukraine last year, the Ukrainian army could have gone on the offensive and the situation would look very different now.

In autumn, 300 tanks would have been enough for us, but now the situation has changed, due to the constant pressure of Russian troops on the entire front line, we are losing dozens of pieces of equipment a day, and the Bakhmutovskaya meat grinder has ground the best parts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

- cited the Ukrainian source of the words of the general.

Earlier, former head of the Pentagon Mark Esper made accusations of the United States of too slow delivery of weapons to Ukraine. The former defense minister of the Donald Trump administration said that at such a pace, the West will not have time to arm Kyiv before the Russian army advances. In his opinion, tanks should have been supplied to Kyiv in the fall, now it may be too late.

I am confused something.
It always seemed to me that it was the Commander-in-Chief who was responsible for the situation at the front.
If he allowed the loss of dozens of pieces of equipment per day and allowed the destruction of the best parts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, maybe he should be given to the tribunal?
They also sat in the fortified areas for years, while the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and other musicians went on the offensive across open fields.
How so?

[dmi.pris1]

And so! This is all said for Western ears. Judging by the fierce resistance, they have everything.

[Andron78]

Zaluzhny takes on a lot, forgets that he is just one of the actors in this movie. The script has been written overseas for a long time and everything is going according to plan.

If then so many tanks were sent, and maybe there could still be aviation, some kind of long-range missiles, now everyone would participate in World War 3. Despite the wild cries, in other countries they are not in a hurry to die. Russia would be forced to enter martial law with all the consequences. And God knows what would have happened. So even if you rewind everything back, I am more than sure that they would not have given anything again.

It means that Russia started the NWO in time, otherwise they would have had time to "cram" the Nazis with weapons.

[Neo-9947]

Here the West does not know what to do.
Arm Ukraine to the teeth so that it takes Moscow and defeats Russia?
This is impossible by definition in principle and in the words of GDP in particular ("why do we need such a world where there is no Russia"). Russia cannot be defeated from outside - it has the last argument - a nuclear triad that destroys the Earth.
Here the West supplies a little - a little something there, hoping to wear Russia out, but in no way win.
And hoh..Ukrainians don't understand this?

[2я19]

Isn't the Ukrainian source whistling? Where in the original source to look at these statements? And so, yes, hohluuuuuu is always just a little money, and weapons, and stars.

In autumn, 300 tanks would be enough for us

In the spring there were 2000 tanks and not enough to defend, but in the fall, 300 are enough for an offensive? That is, 2000 is not enough, and three hundred is a lot.
In general, arithmetic is a Muscovite science and it is not needed by a spravzhny cloaked man (also, by the way, like our couch warriors) ...

As in a joke: "Yesterday - two are few, and three are many, today - three are many, and two are few."

[Constantine N]

those tanks had only thick armor, but now they are more or less modern

[Ulan.1812]

That's right, Zaluzhny is their bastards, you see what they thought, not to fulfill all the requirements of Kyiv.
And well, lined up and ran to perform.
In Vysotsky's song, the animals decided to appoint a goat as a scapegoat.
And they didn’t notice that the goat sat on their neck and began to push them around ... ... and recently growled like a bear from the bushes called the wolf a bastard. And they didn’t notice - “which is more expensive than all bears and foxes, dear scapegoat.”

[Boycott]

And I know why they demolish the monuments to Pushkin and ban him, because of the fairy tale about the golden fish. The dumbest can draw parallels by reading it. And predict how it all ends for them.

[Ivanushka Ivanov]

Zaluzhny is right about one thing: Bakhmut is a trap for them. But here he (not only the "independent" "analysts" of the Pintossia, but there are a lot of those among us, unfortunately) is trying to lure us into a "broad" offensive. Like, it only remains to finish them off ... Such things are not leaked. So it's leaked for someone's ears.

It turns out that we have the right tactics. Time works for us.

It will not be / such a scowl /. Donbass, according to the Wagner method (methodical frontal biting off of small areas and, as a result, coverage of our points) will be liberated - and as a result - the complete defeat of the personnel of the VFU ...

And there the war will show the plan ...

[Yaroslav Tekkel]

cited the Ukrainian source of the word general

I don’t even ask for a link, but at least the name of the source ... Because Ukraine, of course, is a special country, but still it’s hard to believe that the commander-in-chief can say such things in wartime. This will not shame the NATO people, but will demoralize their own. It's as if we have Gerasimov, in order to speed up the delivery of equipment, he would begin to list losses and failures.

(I’ll say right away that this is only one of the options (psychological education haunts :)))
It may be that you do not take into account such a factor as hysteria. If a person is seized by panic, then a hysteria occurs almost instantly - and during it it is very difficult to control words and deeds.

[Blackbeard]

they are so insatiable to them, at least give them all the weapons of Europe - it will still not be enough

cited the Ukrainian source of the word general

So did Zaluzhny say this or some "source"?
Not at all the same...

[evgen1221]

It’s better to have such a general, this one at least actively helps us dispose of crowds of upholders with equipment. But if they put a smart one?

[Petr_Koldunov]

"Six months late"

That is, it was necessary to start arming them from the summer of 2013?

[Metallurg_2]

As usual: if my grandmother had the right organ...

The Russian army is moving forward, and the Ukrainian one is suffering losses due to the lack of the necessary amount of modern armored vehicles and other weapons. The West is late with arms deliveries by at least half a year. This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny.

overseas friends probably don’t care about all these statements ....
