As Ukraine's large-scale counteroffensive failed last year, Ukraine's situation has become increasingly worse.
At present, the Ukrainian army is no longer able to organize a large-scale offensive. It has neither enough weapons and ammunition nor enough combat personnel, so it can only turn to defense.
This defensive posture of the Ukrainian army is different from last year when the Russian army switched from offense to defense. Russia took the initiative to adopt tactics in order to maintain the results after achieving certain results.
For Ukraine, the situation is completely different.
If Ukraine wants to win, it must attack and regain all the lost land.
As a result, the party that was supposed to attack had to enter a defensive state, and the goal of regaining lost territory became to avoid losing more land.
Ukraine's initial defense was obviously due to passive factors, and it is expected that it will be difficult to withstand the large-scale offensive of the Russian army.
Against this background, the West began to shift blame.
German media pointed out the problem of the Ukrainian army
According to "Reference News", the German News TV channel website stated that the biggest problem in Ukraine is not the lack of weapons and ammunition, but the lack of troops.
German media pointed out that military experts have calculated that the Ukrainian army can maintain its defense strategy by firing 2,000 to 3,000 artillery shells every day. Ukraine's current artillery shell stock is sufficient to support such consumption.
If the U.S. aid package is approved by the House of Representatives, additional ammunition could soon be sent to Ukraine.
The real problem in Ukraine is the lack of troops. This problem cannot be solved immediately. It may take several months to recruit enough people and then train them. If soldiers with poor quality are sent out, the risk of casualties will increase. This Will weaken morale.
analysis believes that the Ukrainian army will be difficult to send well-trained recruits to the front line before the end of the summer.
The West is beginning to blame
Shortage of personnel is indeed a major problem facing Ukraine, but based on what the German media has said before and after, this problem cannot be entirely attributed to Ukraine.
Ukraine cannot recruit soldiers, which is why the counterattack failed, but the West cannot be ruled out as responsible.
Western aid has not yet been implemented, and the new US aid bill has not yet been passed. The EU has already regretted the 50 billion aid bill passed, implying that the United States needs to pass a new aid bill before it can provide large-scale assistance to Ukraine. of assistance.
The West’s support for Ukraine is directly linked to the morale of the Ukrainian people and soldiers.
If the West strongly supports Ukraine, Ukrainians will have confidence that whether they are fighting on the front line or recruiting troops in the rear, it will be relatively simple.
Now that the West seems to be giving up on Ukraine, it is naturally difficult for Ukraine to carry out its recruitment work.
The German media understated that the Ukrainian army had sufficient artillery shells and that U.S. aid might be passed soon. This directly brushed off the West's responsibility and pointed the finger at Ukraine itself.
The West should look for its own problems
The German media is doing this to let Ukraine look for its own problems, because Ukraine is always asking for assistance from the West, and Ukraine’s actions will make the outside world think that the West has not given enough help to Ukraine. , then once the war is defeated, the West will also be responsible.
It is naturally impossible for the West to bear or bear anything for Ukraine.
But there is no escaping the fact. Ukraine always complains that the support provided by the West is insufficient. This is also a fact.
It is true that the West has been assisting Ukraine, but many of the equipment provided are antiques, either obsolete or on the verge of retirement.
Now even the most basic assistance cannot be guaranteed to be adequately supplied. How can we fight this battle?
If the West keeps treating Ukraine with a "non-stick" mentality, the end should come soon.
