And the British “Sky News” network wrote an analysis in the wake of the security meeting that included 40 countries in Germany, to enhance Kyiv’s military capabilities in the face of the Russian war, in which it indicated that the allies had reached this conviction.
The network says that the Western allies have concluded that Putin can stop the war in Ukraine only if his forces are defeated, something that can only happen with Western support, even if it risks a wider war in Europe.
During the meeting, which practically seeks to form a coalition in support of Ukraine, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stressed: “Ukraine clearly believes that it can win and so is everyone here to achieve this.”
The participating countries included many European countries and other countries outside the old continent, such as Kenya, Australia and South Korea, although this puts them at risk of confrontation with Moscow.
And the quality of weapons that the West gives has evolved from ammunition to tanks, which reflects the West’s determination to confront Russia, which leads to leaving it weak after the war, so that it will not be able to launch a similar war in the future.
The US Chief of Staff, General Mark Milley, says there is an urgent need to provide Ukraine with more conventional weapons, as it faces a new Russian attack in the east, after Ukrainian forces managed to push the Russian army away from the capital, Kyiv.
Speaking during the closed session, he described the coming weeks as “critical” and said time was “not on Ukraine’s side”.
“The outcome of this fight depends on the people in this room (participating in the security meeting). The Ukrainians will fight, and we need to make sure they have the means to fight,” General Milley said.
