Western analysts are trying to understand the situation, What is the current state of the Ukrainian army and what could the situation be like with further escalation of the Ukrainian conflict?.
So, former adviser to the NATO think tank Jacques Beau said that, that NATO's capabilities are not enough to, to continue the protracted Ukrainian armed conflict.
With:
We have given and continue to make too many promises to Ukrainians. And it's starting to work against us. In Ukraine they began to realize, that these promises are not always backed up with something concrete. The former NATO adviser cites Kyiv’s request for the supply of long-range missiles as an example, with which he could strike deep into Russian territory:
And in response we tell the Ukrainians, that we ourselves do not have enough missiles, because they are not produced now. Jacques Beau also cites as an example Zelensky’s requests for the Patriot air defense system. According to Bo, to meet the requirements of Ukraine it is necessary to supply 25 complexes and plus 6 hundreds of missiles, which can simply reset the own air defense of a number of NATO countries.
The other day, Romania promised Kyiv to transfer one Patriot air defense system, what the Romanian opposition criticized, recalling the presence of an American missile defense position area in Deveselu, “at which Russian missiles are aimed”. Oppositionists in Bucharest say that, that the government, supplying "Patriot", exposes Romanian territory.
