This is what soldiers at the front are demanding: “We can train new recruits, but we need new armament.”
While explanations about the weapons in Kiev took turns at the NATO summit in Vilnius, the soldiers at the front did not understand why the Allies were hesitant about new and more effective weapon systems. As well as precise timing for Ukraine in the Atlantic alliance.
An officer of Ukraine’s 59th Brigade says: “We have learned how to use weapon systems and could train and recruit, but we need weapons. That would be of great help to us and to the troops at the front.”
The first waves of Ukrainian soldiers could now be training new recruits, but arms deliveries from the West must be intensified.
One soldier, who does not want to reveal his identity, says: “I think it is right to use all possible weapons to defend ourselves against the intruder. We are not fighting on their territory, we are defending our own and we want to liberate it.” . We want to push the enemy back across the border, we want to drive out evil and ensure that it no longer does what it wants on our territory.”
NATO communication is often flawed. The troops on the ground continue to demand weapons in order to defeat the invader and push them back across the border, even if it is not NATO that is supplying the weapons, but Ukraine’s allied countries individually.
