“Why don’t nations just say they support Ukraine and keep quiet about what aid they’re sending, when and how much?”
Do you think those nations could be trying to escalate the war?
I don’t know. They might think that announcing their military aid before it’s sent will discourage Russia, but Putin, at least acts as if any increased capability in Ukraine’s war machine will be met and exceeded.
Just don’t see any reason to announce in advance, on and on, what aid is going to Ukraine.
