Interesting that the original desire by many of us for more material support to the UKR is finally getting belated traction.
Timing is such an important factor.
And therein lies the rub, it’s a tragic problem for the Ukrainians who are losing thousands of people due to the Wests inability to provide long range weapons, Russia has learnt to place their stockpiles and railheads just out of range of Ukraines current artillery systems.
if we had given them the ability to strike deep behind the front on Ukrainian territory the talk of withdrawing would be a moot point.

In a way it makes me feel like Germany and partially the West are hanging them out to dry at the moment of potential victory.
