According to him, this could lead to a fatal shortage of Ukrainian forces in this conflict and expose the U.S. weakness, which could manifest itself in the next battle of the great powers.

Kyiv will need much more Western support to push back against Russian forces gathering in the east, where relatively open terrain is less favorable for defense.

It is noted that the U.S. provided a third of its total supply of Javelin anti-tank missiles. It cannot easily supply more without leaving its own arsenals severely depleted – and it can take months or years to significantly increase production.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Joe Biden discussed a defense support package during a telephone conversation and agreed to tighten sanctions against Russia.

Earlier, the U.S. promised Kyiv 10 anti-tank systems for each Russian tank in Ukraine.
