Ukrainian leaders are warning that the fate of the industrial heartlands in their country’s east depends on the amount of Western-supplied heavy weaponry that can be placed on the front lines in Donbas, as Russia presses on with its attempts to expand its control to Severodonetsk and other strategic cities.
The entire area has come under heavy Russian fire, Serhiy Haidai, the Ukrainian governor of the eastern Luhansk region, which along with Donetsk makes up Donbas, said Friday. “Fierce street fights continue in Severodonetsk,” he said on the Telegram social-media platform, adding that key routes such as the road between the eastern cities of Lysychansk and Bakhmut remain under Ukrainian control as the fighting turns into a war of attrition.
How much longer the Ukrainian forces can hold back the Russian advance will depend in large part on how many Western artillery systems they can deploy.
There are now five systems placed near the front lines made by members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said on Thursday, with Polish-AHS Krab artillery units supplementing M777 and FH70 howitzers, Caesar self-propelled howitzers and U.S.-made and Norwegian-supplied M109A3 howitzers.

That forty billion dollars provided by US taxpayers disappeared fast.
10 billion to Ukes and 30 billion in corruption. They are getting greedy.
They need heavy artillery so they can drag the US into a nuclear holocaust.
If that were the goal then this is how it would look.
I think it’s the goal.
10% for the big guy.
By all means let’s prolong the carnage.
No I am not an appeaser. I hate how people are suffering there. But the Ukraine government is worse in some ways than Russia - it is obviously the moneybag for the Biden Crime Family. Russia isn’t. So why prolong this miserable conflict.
Very sorry for the Ukrainians.
I wonder how they expect this heavy military equipment to be delivered to the front without it being intercepted by Russia?
Whatever is most disruptive to the globalists is ok by me.
The commies are now in the west.
The Soros stooges have assured us that Russia lost the war on Ukraine won.
I refuse to believe otherwise.
No.
Go beg to Europe.
Return our money !
40,000,000,000 just doesn’t go as far as it used to these days…
So much lies from the media. Heavy weaponry need a lot of training before they can be used effectively. Lie after lie from Zelensky and western leaders. Weapons don’t men squat if you don’t know how to use them.
Right down the Zelensky-Biden rathole.
“Whatever is most disruptive to the globalists is ok by me.”
You got that right !
Putin's Price Hike.
Russia has highly accurate cruise missiles, both subsonic and hypersonic and has been blowing up a lot of foreign military arms once they are on the territory of the Ukraine. The Western media has been ignoring their use and effectiveness. Russia has launched 1500 of them which has been a shock and awe effect on Western military experts who are used to purchasing overpriced weapons and using them sparingly.
