Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., on Wednesday called for the White House to provide longer-range munitions to Ukraine, a press release revealed.

Spartz, who was born in the northern Ukrainian city of Nosivka, also urged the Biden administration to be more "proactive" in providing security assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces roughly one year into the conflict.

"The next six months will be critical to the brutal war in Ukraine and longer-range capabilities will be crucial for its success," she stated, asking for Guided Multiple Rocket Launch System or Army Tactical Missile System munitions to be sent over.

"What these capabilities would do is to help the Ukrainian military to better defend its cities in Eastern Ukraine where the Russian army has pulled back its artillery to a 'safe' distance on the occupied Ukrainian territories," Spartz added.

Her comments arrive hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pressured Western allies to send tank supplies faster

How much do you want to bet the territory Russia has annexed remains part of Russia?

There is absolutely NO doubt about that. The only question is, how many more Ukrainians must die and much more territory will Ukraine lose before it is forced to surrender.

Lets see - Russia has annexed, officially, Kherson. It is “part of Russia”. The Ukrainians took back the whole west bank plus its capital. Is there any possibility that Russia can conduct a massive river crossing battle across the Dneiper?

There is plenty of doubt that the Russians can hold their land seizures. They have indeed lost land, and this was only two months ago.

They can send cruise missiles and drones.
These can only hit fixed targets because they are guided by the Russian species of GPS or inertial navigation.

This is not effective at interdiction of road or rail traffic. You can target a location, road or rail, say a bridge, but you cant target a convoy. And the Russians have targeted bridges, but apparently can’t hit them effectively with their cruise missiles, as they gave up. And for the most part road or rail damage is easy to repair or work around.

For effective interdiction you need real time targeting and attack, which means aircraft overhead, as in the 1991 “road of death” in Kuwait.

And that aircraft overhead thing is what the Russians can’t do.

“Spartz, who was born in the northern Ukrainian city of Nosivka”

Tells us all we need to know about her loyalties and her motives.

The Russians would “destroy the Ukrainian military” much faster if the Russian Airforce could actually attack the Ukrainian military, where it matters, in its logistics. But they can’t.

The slow grind does not minimize Russian losses. They are reduced to this because they cant do anything else. This is a bad way to destroy an enemy. The idea that Russian casualties are being minimized is a fantasy. For one thing the enemy gets to shoot back, and the Russian artillery and rear areas are a rich target.

The proper, classic military way to do this is to break through, turn their flanks, surround them, or force them to retreat and destroy them on the roads through pursuit and air attack. This is exactly what the Ukrainians have done to the Russians in the Kherson offensive. But the Russians can’t do that.
