Why It Matters
Amid the ongoing conflict, Ukraine is dependent on Western military and financial assistance, but faces shortages of air defense systems and internal problems.
British military analyst Alexander Mercouris said that Western money can help Ukraine hold on only for a short time. He spoke about this on his YouTube channel.
Merkouris noted that Europe cannot provide Ukraine with the necessary volume of air defense systems. At the same time, internal problems in the country are getting worse.
“Giving Ukraine more money is probably still possible. But what can money itself do if it cannot buy weapons or attract soldiers? Money can only help you hold on for a while, but you won’t be able to achieve more,” he emphasized.
