Ukraine knows the West can give more aid and weapons to Kyiv because “warehouses in Western countries are not completely empty”, the country’s chief spymaster has said.
Maj Gen Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, said the country must prepare to build up its arsenal in order to outlast Russia, which he predicted could run out of weapons in 2026.
But he told The Economist that Ukraine could not do this without Western governments because its domestic arms industry had been blighted by decades of corruption, underinvestment and sabotage. “We are dependent on external players,” he said. “Russia is mostly dependent on itself.”

Zelensky can take his begging bowl and shove it up his backside. What an ungrateful wretch.
Yes Biden can but Russia can give Kim Jong-Un space and military technology.
That’s something to think about after the recent five-day “Rocket Man” visit to Russia.
And money...We know that the Federal Reserve isn’t out of ink and paper, or electrons.
Yeah, we probably could. But we don’t really care about you that much. And Americans shouldn’t be supporting Nazis.
Total depletion = easier Chinese control of the US.
Aggressive panhandling. At least wash the windows!
How is this any different in logical construction from the indebted from excesive tuition now complaining they should be given a pass because ....
2003: “We know West can give us more weapons”
2005: “We know West can give us more troops”
(2023, 2025)
Uh we gave them over 100 Billion tax payer dollars and they have nothing to show for it.
The nerve of these grifters implying that we’re not done giving them everything we have until our warehouses are echoing emptiness.
They want to completely disarm the US before...what? What’s their plan? Drain us of weapons for whom?
What right does the Ukraine have to insist the US disarm itself in order to arm the Ukraine?
Yup. Gut and disarm the military. Coming for the guns next. Softened up for takeover.
“We are dependent on external players,”
So was Europe during WW2 but they REPAID their war debt. All of them. You just want free stuff as long as possible. Sod off Ukie bum!
It’s worse: “ which he predicted could run out of weapons in 2026”
Not even will, but could. So much for “weakening Russia”. Every reason we’ve been given for supporting Ukraine has turned out to be bogus.
We might want to keep a few for ourselves.
They want ATTCMS missiles for terror attacks on Moscow. That could result in Kinzhal missiles landing in London and Paris, i.e. at some point Russians will take the gloves off...
