Ukraine's Defense Minister Says Delays in Promised Western Military Aid Is Costing Lives

Half of promised Western military support to Ukraine fails to arrive on time, complicating the task of military planners and ultimately costing the lives of soldiers, the country's defense minister said Sunday.

Speaking at the “Ukraine. Year 2024” forum in Kyiv, Rustan Umerov said that each delayed aid shipment meant Ukrainian troop losses, and underscored Russia’s superior military might.

Commemorations to mark the second anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Saturday brought expressions of continued support, new bilateral security agreements and fresh aid commitments from Ukraine’s Western allies. But Umerov said they still needed to deliver on their commitments if Ukraine is to have any chance of holding out against Russia.

Don’t fall for the Ukrainian lies, either. It is still a money laundering operation with all the oligarchs and politicians benefitting.

Since the war began, Putin was reportedly dead and Russia was using a body double in his place. He had thyroid, stomach and blood cancer.

Putin will be in power longer than Justin Trudeau is and longer than Biden will be alive.

Nor would Putin's death change a thing. The Russians aren't buckling to the "liberal world order", WEF, Soros, the LGBT agenda or the green agenda.

The Ukes are fools and we’re willing tools of the west. They abandoned their own self interest in exchange for promises from America which is about as reliable as the Pope following catholic principles. Surrender, strike a deal with Russia. I guarantee they will be treated better than the cabal in the collective west running things today. Good god, how could it be worse!

I see where you stand from our prior conversations. You fail to test the reality of the situation. This is not a replay of Hitler taking as much territory as he can grab. Ukraine like other areas throughout history is attempting to establish a sovereign state. Unfortunately wishing is not enough. There is no policeman or world authority to enforce its views on Ukraine & Russia.
It is my opinion that life is often brutal and things look different depending on where one stands. The horrific death tolls on both sides were multiplied manyfold by profit seekers who extended the war.
IDK if the president of the Ukraine really thought Ukraine could win or if he just let the good times roll while he was raking in cash.
If we didn’t have a braindead corrupt administration there would have been agreements made, mediated by other countries which would have satisfied both sides sufficiently to avoid the death toll.
