US, Allies Send More Weapons to Ukraine in Absence of Real Solution (TheNewAtlas)

Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for January 20, 2023.

- BBC citing Ukrainian sources admit that Soledar is under Russian control and Bakhmut is facing encirclement;

- The West is increasing the amount of weapons sent to Ukraine including weapon systems entirely inappropriate for Ukrainian forces;

- The latest US military aid package falls far short of even sustaining Ukrainian operations and covering its losses;

- The package includes Stryker armored personnel carriers, adding yet another type of vehicle that needs a separate logistical line and training program for the APC role;

- The West is not sending this hodgepodge of equipment because it thinks it's the best option but instead because it is the only option.



The Russians have likely already destroyed 1000 Ukrainian tanks, which is why they need more from the West. Let that sink in.
