    If Ukraine can keep up the pace of its attacks on the Russian military infrastructure, it’s hard to imagine Russia still going at it in two years.

      In the absence of American support, Ukraine still needs European support for its war effort to continue.

        Definitely, with a nuance. Last year Ukraine claimed to have produced 30% of it’s weapon needs, this year it’s at 50%. The tables are turning.

          With the money from EU. It’s gonna be impossible without it.

          Ironically, the weakest point of Ukraine is attack on democratic process of it’s allies. US already fell and key EU countries aren’t looking good.

            Very true. Money was and will remain essential with a difference that producing one’s own ammunition is cheaper than buying it, plus one can sell the surplus and the expertise.

            I’m just hoping the swamp puppet nazis will not win fast enough and Ukraine will manage to reach selfsustainable production. I mean I hope they will not win at all, but it’s a thin one.

              Its a tough one re selling the sulprus. It doesnt happen now. It involves getting permissions from a some commission and the whole process is nigh impossible. Some companies just relocate to Poland / Czech and sell from there, which obviously mean Ukraine don’t see these money.
