Ukraine ‘Scales Back’ Military Operations, Blames Lack of Foreign Aid
Breitbart ^ | 12/20/2023 | OLIVER JJ LANE

Ukraine has blamed a “shortfall in foreign assistance” as it suffers a shortage of munitions, forcing it to make operations “smaller” in its Western-backed war against the Russian occupation.

General Oleksandr Tarnavskyi cited shell starvation “across the entire front line” — what he called a “very big problem” – and what Reuters paraphrased as “the drop in foreign military aid” as being major factors in the reduced combat readiness of Ukrainian troops. Speaking to the wire service in interview, the Ukrainian military leader said the volumes of artillery “are not sufficient for us today, given our needs”, so ammunition was having to be redistributed.

And despite the fact they are scaling back, they are clobbering the Russians. I read it here, so it must be true.

Sounds like socialism -- an inability to generate wealth requires redistribution of wealth so that everyone can be equally miserable.

The Ukraine currently has insufficient ammunition. So they will redistribute it. Because that helps.

LOL, The people of Ukraine and Russia are speaking out by sending their sons out of the country. I wish we could convince all these invaders coming through our borders to go to Ukraine. It would be money wisely spent.

What happened to the billions upon billions "us" American taxpayers have already handed over to Zelensky?

Money that will never be accounted for - while Zelensky's wife goes on $40,000 shopping sprees in Paris and Zelensky owns luxury homes in Switzerland, Florida and Israel.

The U.S. is already paying for millions of third world scumbags to steal the “American Dream”. Let the Euros pay for Z’s war.

Time to end the war. Give peace a chance. There are seasons for all things. Now it’s time for a Christmas Truce. Mr. Zelenskyy lost the war in Gaza. Russia isn’t going to give up a meter of land. Russia won when Putin and Xi shook hands. With China (and Iran/North Korean) support—Russia couldn’t lose. It only came down to how long the USA would pay the bills. We have a notoriously short memory and get sick of things fast.

Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense you adress your post to the neurotic, narcissistic mother superior?
She’s clogging up FreeRepublic every single day with her nonstop Ukrainian propaganda.

Btw, Merry Christmas 🎅

Must be true.

Who scales back in a war for your life? This whole war never seemed as if it were anything, no matter how many were killed, but a money scheme for all sides.

Are the Ukrainians envious b/c the Biden admin approved the emergency sale
to Israel of nearly 14,000 rounds of tank ammunition worth more than $106 million?

Israel has intensified its military operations in the southern Gaza Strip.

The $106 million to Israel comes as Biden’s request for a nearly $106 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel is languishing in Congress.

Some Democratic lawmakers say the proposed $14.3 billion foreign aid pkg to Israel should be contingent on concrete steps by Netanyahu to reduce civilian casualties in Gaza.

This is “the narrative” as relayed in lockstep MSM: Plucky little Ukraine might lose, and it’s all the fault of those nasty Republicans.

Never mind what they need are more soldiers and more ammo, but they have run out of both. And the last time we sent ammo, we sent cluster munitions because we were out of conventional ammo. And never mind the EU held up more funding as well.

We’re all out of spare ammo, we got Israel to worry about now. Things are not looking up for Ukraine right now.

They do not want munitions sent, they want cash so they can skim.
