Solidarity with Ukraine by European and Western nations show that Russian plans to win the war are "doomed," according to one military expert.
The news comes as more weapons and supplies are reaching Ukrainian defence forces who are not only holding off Russian advances but now pushing them back. With Vladimir Putin’s forces now seemingly in stagnation in eastern Ukraine, the Kremlin’s dreams of a quick and effective “special operation” are fast becoming a nightmare.
Taking to Twitter to argue why Russian plans are doomed, military expert Nicholas Drummond described some of the reasons military equipment and united support of Ukraine is proving so decisive.
He wrote: “Scholz + Germany in partnership with Macron and France, Johnson and Britain, Biden and America, Morawiecki and Poland, and many others, show there is more that unites us than divides us.
“Such solidarity with Ukraine suggests that Russian plans to subsume it are doomed.”
“Today, Scholz expressing his commitment to Ukraine for as long as it needs Germany’s support is a clear admission that Putin will not be allowed to succeed in Ukraine.
Germany has finally approved the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine with supply of seven Panzerhaubitze 2000 Howitzer cannons, with France and The Netherlands also providing variants of the Howitzer to Ukraine, giving Kyiv a geographical advantage in defending key cities in the country.
Many took the opportunity to criticize Berlin for its late reaction to helping Ukraine, yet this delay was commended by Mr Drummond who said: “Don’t criticise Germany for being late to the party.
“After 1945, it wanted to become a country known for its economic strength, not its military might.
“Putin has awakened a sleeping giant.”
“Its industry has since set a global standard. It has been a fantastic European partner and deserves international respect.”
“However, Olaf Scholz and his government had barely taken power when Russia invaded Ukraine.
“To his great credit, he realised Germany had to change to meet the threat posed by such aggression.”
Mr Drummond was also highly praising of Britain for its role in supplying Ukraine with much-needed weapons.
He said: “I feel duty-bound to mention Ben Wallace in all this.
“His early decision to send NLAW, Javelin and an enormous quantity of munitions to Ukraine set a great example and was crucial in the early stages of the conflict.
“He has since worked to bind Europe and the USA together.”
