As a private citizen over the past year, Vindman watched the slow Russian buildup along Ukraines borders and, he said, became concerned about how Kyiv would support and sustain a long conflict. Vindman and his twin brother Yevgeny, also an Army officer, were born in Ukraine and immigrated to the U.S. as children.
Since the invasion last year, the Biden administration has approved hundreds of Bradley fighting vehicles, Strykers, Humvees, mobile howitzer systems and now Abrams tanks for shipment to Ukraine. But those machines must be taken from Ukraine to Poland or other NATO countries for major repairs, costing Ukrainian forces weeks as they wait for their armored vehicles to come back.
Weve got all sorts of resources going into depots and advanced bases in Poland, mainly, and inside Ukraine basically theyre on their own, Vindman said in an interview. Its something he hopes to change in the coming weeks if the money, the support and the workers can be lined up.

“Respectfully disagree. Can’t spend money if you’re dead.”
Contractors take risk into account. That’s why I said “...if the contract is lucrative enough, there will be takers.”
The worse that the war goes for the Bidenistas the angrier TB gets.
He was offered the job because he is a traitorous criminal. Those types get the jobs in RAT and neocon admins.
Here he is, Sparky, spinmeister, circle-talker extraordinaire, know-it-all, the self appointed voice of reason.
I don’t see any other threads started with a pre-prepared slew of comments made to and from the thread-starter, every single day. I have seen some *very* VILE remarks and childish offensive images from these individuals in support of errant opinions.
It’s going to be tough sledding for you going forward. US backed former state of Ukraine is in big trouble.
You might want to check the OP's daily habits on that one. Doesn't apply to me.
That’s exactly right. Their mood is predicated on the success or failure of General Winston Zelenskyy. And brother they’re mad this week 😡
Oooh, babyrattle thinks it has a stalker. So cute.
And now one courtesy ping is harassment. Sad little feller.
Because of the role that Zelensky and the Ukrainian government played in the coup against President Trump I hope the whole country gets burned down. I am betting that the Ukrainian bastards are regretting their involvement now.
If you reference me in your post, FR rules suggest a ping. Now tell me what you’re implying about me.
I’m flattered you hold me in such high esteem. Though, I suspect you are too dim to follow most of what I say.
But, you answered my question: Your support of restrictions is one-sided. I am not surprised.
“It’s going to be tough sledding for you going forward. US backed former state of Ukraine is in big trouble.”
Ah, but you are wrong. You see, I am not emotionally invested in this war, unlike you. And I’ve said from the very beginning that Russia will in all probability with the “war,” but it will lose the “peace.”
I guess we’ll find out, eh?
“If you reference me in your post, FR rules suggest a ping.”
No, they don’t. I’ve read the FR standards and they do not say that.
Do you, perhaps, have a definitive. link to support your comment?
It’s ironic, though, that there are those on your side who often talk about other FReepers, and yet those other FReepers are not pinged on the post. Why is that? Or, are you just selective in your sudden embrace of decorum?
Now it is starting to make sense.
Fat boy is too much of a coward to fight. He will send other people to fight instead.
This guy is so stupid that he’s dangerous.
You bet. Stay right here and I’ll get the specifics.
May that pudgy pudendum get his just reward. The fires of hell.
BTW, there is no bigger NATO/Zelenskyy flack on FR than you. Don’t be shy just because things are now collapsing.
No, he’ll send other people’s sons and daughters! He’s from the Ukraine, let him take up a rifle and head for the front!
“You bet. Stay right here and I’ll get the specifics.”
I’m waiting.
