Zelenskyy's Warnings and Urges Amid Ukraine's Weapon Shortage

Ukrainian President Zelensky urgently appeals for more weapons to counter an "artificial shortage" that is aiding Russia, as Ukrainian troops face ammunition deficits due to delayed US support. Zelensky offered to tour the front lines with former President Trump, while US Vice-President Harris reiterated support for Kyiv and warned against political games over military aid. The Munich Security Conference highlighted concerns over Russia's military victories and the need for increased international support for Ukraine to prevent a catastrophic situation in Europe.

"Russia's Troop Buildup in Ukraine Raises Concerns Over Weapon Shortages"

Russia is drafting hundreds of thousands of troops for major assaults in Ukraine, but it may not have enough weapons to equip them all, according to military experts. The Institute for the Study of War reported that Russia's military reserves are not ready for combat and its production rates cannot support a large number of conscripts or reservists. This shortage of weapons could significantly impact the outcome of the war, as Russia has been recruiting poorly-trained soldiers for intense assaults on the front lines in Ukraine, resulting in major losses and failed advances.

Putin's Aggressive Plans for Ukraine Despite Weapons Shortage

Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged shortages of vital weapons and ammunition but claimed Ukraine's counteroffensive was failing, with Kyiv's forces suffering "catastrophic" battlefield losses. Putin suggested he could order his troops to try to seize more land in Ukraine to protect bordering Russian territory. Ukraine quickly denied Putin's claims about its counteroffensive, insisting slow progress was being made along the 600-mile front line. The US government announced its latest military aid package for Ukraine, worth some $325 million, which will include more armored fighting and infantry transport vehicles.

"Ukraine warns Russia to leave or face destruction as Finland joins NATO"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned Russian forces to leave Ukraine before the upcoming spring counteroffensive, stating that they will be destroyed if they do not. The counteroffensive has been delayed due to a weapons shortage, including heavy equipment and fighter jets. Slovakia and Poland have pledged fighter jets to Ukraine, but no Western-built fighter jets have been sent yet. The Ukrainian military is likely to launch its counteroffensive in April or May, according to Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov.
