Ukraine to Halt Key Russian Gas Transit to Europe, Use Alternative

21. Desperation.

Remember they wanted a NATO no fly zone, force the ports open, etc. But NATO has stated that is a bridge too far to cross. Recently read that Biden chastised our intelligence leaks for helping them pinpoint Generals, where their forces were moving to, etc. As it plays into Putin's statement about NATO being an aggressor.

Also read a story today that its going to take a year for the USA to restock our Javelin anti tank weapons. And we already lost some military equipment in Afghanistan during the pull out and Iraq insurgency. So they know the spigot is going to get a bit smaller eventually. And Ukraine can't afford to take many losses so it needs to be replenished. And with Biden quickly getting aide to them with an emergency bill, tells me they we're getting close to running on empty.

Pulling military equipment from other NATO nations however, has been like pulling teeth. Can't blame them, they have smaller stockpiles and need to keep operational just in case Putin really is crazy.

And this war will end. But when it does, the country is going to be devastated. Infrastructure needs to be rebuilt, they need to entice those that fled to come back and help rebuild (not all of them will), etc. They are going to be in an economic coma for awhile.

So they do this, in the hopes of being more convincing. More military equipment = we can retake Novopskov.
