    “Ukraine to be given an excuse why it was baited with a NATO-on-a-stick and thrown away like a broken screwdriver”

      I wonder how all the fascists that have been trained and armed over the past decade will feel when they realized that the west is discarding them like a used condom.

        Good thing they don’t have literal stockpiles of military rifles that dissappear off the ledger the second they crossed the border.

          the west created a staggering black market for weapons at the start of the war

          Jonas Ohman is founder and CEO of Blue-Yellow, a Lithuania-based organization that has been meeting with and supplying frontline units with non-lethal military aid in Ukraine since the start of the conflict with Russia-backed separatists in 2014. Back in April, he estimated that just “30-40%” of the supplies coming across the border reached its final destination. But he says the situation has significantly improved since then and a much larger quantity now gets where it’s supposed to go.
