6400 dead is a minimal figure...

And why is it always the USA that must supply weapons? The NATO nations have long used the Carl Gustav. One of the most effective antitank weapons ever made. In fact, during the Falklands Island War a Brit took out and Argentine Corvette with one round. Ship limped back to port on 50% power. Spent a week or more being repaired.

Point is, if Europe was interested in helping Ukraine in a meaningful way, they would have stepped up long before now.

Can it be that Sweden is afraid to sell them fearing Russia’s retribution? They are a small country not part of NATO after all.

Europe doesn't want to see Ukraine turned into a bloodbath and a humanitarian disaster that they'll be the ones dealing with.

The United States has no such concerns.
