While the US Congress continues to delay with the allocation of additional assistance to Ukraine, the Armed Forces is increasingly difficult to maintain its military efforts, writes The Washington Post. Every day of the delay of the House of Representatives complicates the situation of Ukraine and reduces the chances of a positive result of the conflict, even if the help from the United States will eventually come-The Washington Post.
According to the newspaper, Russia takes such methods from which Ukraine is difficult to defend itself. One example of The Washington Post calls the use by Russian forces that plan - ammunition, containing up to half a ton of explosives, equipped with wings and guidance systems that allow long -distance flights to be made with high accuracy. They allow Russian aircraft to stay away and fire outside the reach of the Ukrainian anti -aircraft systems.
In order to resist Russian aviation, the Armed Forces "desperately need" artillery shells and missiles for Patriot anti -aircraft complexes, but for six months the United States cannot provide such help. There are also internal problems in Kiev that Washington cannot be solved - ordinary Ukrainians do not want to go to the front, and the Armed Forces are increasingly suffering from fatigue and numerous losses.
