LOL
Ukraine should be able to produce its own basic ammo.
Ukraine can put on an agricultural export tax to raise money.
Polish farmers are very upset by imports of lower priced Ukrainian farm goods.
Losing Avdiivka has nothing to do with that Congressional bill. Most in that bill wasn’t for weaponry that could have made it into the battlefield in Azdiivka in time anyway.
Ukes lost because they are running out of soldiers and they have leadership that makes terrible errors in judgement.
The NYT only cares about getting that 61 billion dollar funding bill passed and into RAT/RINO/Zelensky hands.
Talked about here, almost in real time as it was happening
Now MSM catching up
Plus Russia still advancing

Ukraine might sell territory to Poland and/or Hungary.
Ukraine might sell territory to billionaires for them to create a new nation state.
“... a sign of the battlefield impact of the failure of the U.S. Congress, so far, to approve more military assistance...”
Completely fake cause and effect here. If the USA had additional shells that the Biden junta deemed available, you can be darn sure that we would have turned them over to Ukraine already under existing authorities.
When the NYT admits “ hundreds”, think “ thousands”
“ two battalions” was, alone, the cost of a multiple missile strike on the AZOV 3d brigade at their deployment site ….a strike repeated on them after they retreated. No Russian love lost for the nazified 3d Brigade, reputed as the most ideological fighters for the regime, possibly sent to Avdeevka to be sacrificed because of their loyalty to the deposed Army chief Zaluzhny…or to serve as “ barrier force” to execute regulars trying to retreat or surrender.
Fwiw the Russian MoD briefed on 17 Feb a single day loss to the Ukrainians of 2600 troops, their largest single day loss of the war
The “ poorly managed retreat” was ordered by the Uke command to try to save face as their surviving units encircled by Russians broke, defied orders to hold, and ran for their lives leaving their wounded behind
That’s actually a significant disappointment for Russia. They were hoping for about 4000 POWs in the pocket.
Assuming the NY Slimes can be trusted.
“using its special operation forces and the elite 3rd Separate Assault Brigade to cover the retreat”
Neocon-speak for their NATO-Trained and Equipped Nazi Brigade as the original name “Azovs” brings up too much dirt on who they are.
“Prisoners of war are one of the biggest challenges to morale in any war. Ukraine has pressed Russia repeatedly to agree to exchange prisoners.”
Even more challenging when you’re shooting down planes carrying YOUR OWN POWs.
There aren’t enough 155mm shells or ukie men left.
Excellent!
New York Times "Journalists" Hardest Hit.
The Ukes are toast whether we help or not.
