Nato Agrees To Supply Heavy Weapons To Ukraine

New York Press News/Financial Times: Nato states agree to supply heavy weapons to Ukraine 

Nato member states have agreed to supply new types of advanced weaponry to Ukraine, alliance representatives said, as Kyiv prepares for an offensive by Russia in the country’s east. 

The pledge came after a plea from Ukraine’s foreign minister for western countries to move faster with supplies or risk seeing “many people die . . . because this help came too late”. 

Six weeks since Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, ordered the invasion of Ukraine, Moscow’s troops have largely withdrawn from territory north of Kyiv after failing to seize the capital but are regrouping and rearming ahead of an attempt to advance in the eastern Donbas region, Ukrainian and western officials said.

Update: NATO Allies agree to further strengthen and sustain support for Ukraine (NATO)  

WNU Editor: This is a major reversal for NATO from just a few weeks ago that they said they would only ship arms and ammo, stingers, and anti-tank weapons. If this is not an indication on how dire the military situation is right now for the Ukraine military, I do not know what is. 

While U.S. and NATO officials have been very open on reporting the heavy casualties that the Russian military has suffered, they have refused to comment or remark specifically on Ukraine military casualties and equipment loses. 

Ukraine is saying that it has only lost 94 tanks and 171 armored/infantry fighting vehicles and personnel carriers. The Russian Ministry of Defense, they are saying that they have knocked out over 2,000 pieces of Ukrainian heavy equipment.
