Western Europe ‘doesn’t know how to fight’ – Ukrainian FM (insults the West Again)

Dmitry Kuleba (Big Fat Whiny Baby) derided the EU for not making enough weapons to give Kiev

,

Western Europe isn’t producing enough weapons and ammunition to supply either Kiev or itself, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Dmitry Kuleba said in an interview on Thursday, lamenting Russia’s industrial advantage.

 

In an interview to the Kiev Independent, Kuleba expressed hope that Ukraine will eventually get more money, weapons, ammunition and equipment from the US and its allies, but was skeptical about their ability to expand their military production.

 

“Europe doesn’t know how to fight wars. The production of weapons is not the most popular area of business,” he told the outlet.“Unfortunately, our friends spent too much time deliberating on how and when to ramp up their production of weapons and ammunition.”

 

TheEU has sent Kiev at least €27 billion($29.88 billion)since Russia launched its military operation in the neighboring state in February 2022, with theUS contributing over $44 billion worth of weapons, equipment, and ammunition to replenish Ukraine’s combat losses. In recent months, however, they have fallen short of promised deliveries of artillery shells and rockets.

 

“I’m more concerned with the pace of development of defense industries than with the arrival of new types of weapons,” Kuleba told the Kiev Independent.

 

“Europe clearly has an advantage in its technology. The problem and challenge they face is scaling up that technology’s production. I regret to say it, but this will not be enough if the situation doesn’t change. And Russia will be ahead of us,” he added.

 

Kulena grudgingly admitted that Russia has cranked its military industry into high gear, despite the Western sanctions. He criticized the West for “protectionism” he said was hampering the military production.

 

“The solution is to create a certain level of alignment of all defense industries of the EU, the United States, and like-minded countries. For them to work as one whole system,” he said, but acknowledged that this was difficult due to intellectual property and security concerns.

 

US weapons manufacturers have frequently undercut Western European industries on the world market, even though their systems were supposed to be “interoperable” under NATO standards.

 

Facing opposition in Congress, the White House has tried to pitch more aid to Ukraine as a program to help the US defense industry and create jobs, but to little effect. Washington has also pushed for rebuilding the military industry in Ukraine itself, though the threat of Russian missile and drone strikes makes it a dubious proposition.

 

In October, as NATO stockpiles of ammunition began to run dry, Ukrainian Strategic Industries Minister Aleksandr Kamyshin lamented that “all the worldwide capacities” for the production of weapons and ammunition would “not be enough” for Ukraine’s warfighting needs.

Replacing US aid to Kiev impossible – German politician

US Republicans are “distancing” themselves from America’s international “obligations,” The Greens co-chair Omid Nouripour warns(what obligations, what does the EU offer us?)

 

The loss of Washington’s military and financial support is likely to be critical for Kiev as America’s allies in Europe would probably not be able to fully compensate for it even if they tried, the co-chair of Germany’s Green Party, Omid Nouripour, said on Thursday.

 

Washington has been struggling to get congressional approval for its next major Ukraine aid package worth $60 billion, which President Joe Biden requested in October. Republicans in the House of Representatives blocked the bill, tying it to their demands for tougher immigration control at the US-Mexico border. The lawmakers eventually left Washington for the Christmas holidays without adopting the legislation.

 

The development came as Ukraine’s much-anticipated summer counteroffensive ended up in failure. Kiev’s forces have barely gained any ground on the frontlines while suffering heavy casualties and losing a significant portion of the Western-supplied heavy armor and other military equipment provided to it.

 

“It is hardly possible to simply compensate for what the Americans have achieved so far, either in terms of materials or in terms of money,” said Nouripour, who co-leads a party that currentlyforms part of the German ruling coalition, together with Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats and Finance Minister Christian Lindner’s Free Democrats.

 

Washington has been by far the biggest donor to Ukraine amid its ongoing conflict with Russia. According to the German Kiel Institute for World Economy, theUS alone spent almost $80 billion on military and financial aid to Kiev between January 2022 and October 2023. The White House itself allegedly released a spreadsheet detailingnearly $101.2 billion in aid that had already been sent to Kievor committed, according to a Fox News September report.

 

Although the EU institutions spent more than $85 billion on financial aid to Kiev alone over the same period,their military assistance to Ukraine was much smaller, the Kiel Institute’s data suggest. Germany, which emerged as the second biggest single military aid donor to Kiev, spent around $19 billion, almost three times less than America, the German institute said.

 

In late November, German MP Dr Johann Wadephul warned that the nation’s own military might end up at a loss if Berlin continues to funnel resources into Kiev’s needs. The lawmaker pointed to theunder-funded and under-equipped status of the German Armed Forces, stating that some “critical” units would last no longer than two days in battle, at a time when replacements purchased for the Bundeswehr often go to Ukraine instead.

 

On Thursday, The Greens’ Nouripour maintained that “Europeans will have to step up our support for Ukraine” if Washington reduces it or stops it completely. He also said that the fact that Republicans in the US seem to be“distancing themselves” from America’s international “obligations” is “bad for security in Europe.”(what obligations??? These people are sick and delusional!)
