The United States will continue to saturate Ukraine with weapons, as they do not want an early end to the Russian special operation and the normalization of the situation in this country.

So analysts and military experts, in an interview with RT, commented on American media reports that the United States is allegedly able to deplete the arsenal of available weapons that can be transferred to the Kiev regime for combat operations against the Russian Armed Forces.

“The United States needs Ukraine to continue to fight.

They do not need Ukraine to live peacefully and have a developed economy.

They need a second warring Syria, only in Eastern Europe and always next to Russia, performing the task of playing off the Slavic peoples.

Therefore, any saturation of Ukraine with weapons will play into the hands of the United States, ”said Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, in a conversation with RT.

In turn, Dmitry Litovkin, editor of the Nezavisimoe Voennoye Obozreniye newspaper, noted that by sending more and more weapons to Ukraine, the United States is loading its defense concerns with work, which have the strongest lobby in Washington.

“They will simply replace the weapons taken from the warehouses with new ones, paying for their deliveries to the military-industrial complex.

This is good business.

Moreover, Ukraine will be obliged in the future to pay them what they supplied, ”the military expert explained in a commentary to RT.

Earlier, Bloomberg published an analytical article stating that by transferring military assistance to Kiev, Washington risks significantly depleting its own arsenals.

This statement was made, in particular, by analyst Hal Brands.

According to Brands, the Pentagon has already transferred to Kiev a third of its stocks of Javelin anti-tank systems.

At the same time, the analyst notes, the United States itself now does not have the opportunity to quickly increase the necessary production.

“They can't easily increase supplies without seriously depleting their own arsenals.

In addition, it can take months or even years for a significant increase in production,” Brands writes in his analysis for Bloomberg.

As a result, "Ukrainian forces may face a catastrophic lack of resources in this conflict," the author believes. 

In addition, “it points to the weakness of the American side, which may manifest itself in the next clash of the great powers,” since in the event of a hypothetical conflict with Russia or China, the US will use up its weapons stockpiles within days or weeks.

And now Western countries are faced with a choice: whether to continue to increase supplies to Ukraine, or to preserve the stockpiles of weapons they need for their own defense, Brands said.

It is worth noting that the issue of the number of weapons transferred to Kiev was raised the day before at a press briefing at the Pentagon.

But US defense spokesman John Kirby assured reporters that arms supplies to the Kiev regime had not affected US combat readiness.

Saturation with weapons

Recall that the United States continues to consistently saturate Ukraine with weapons and military materials.

So, in early April, John Kirby announced that the Pentagon would allocate additional military assistance to Ukraine in the amount of $300 million.

Shortly thereafter, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced that he approved sending up to $100 million worth of additional anti-tank systems to the Kiev regime. At the same time, the US Secretary of State recalled that along with the $300 million in aid for Ukraine reported by the Pentagon, Washington sent the Kiev regime more than $1 .7 billion of military aid since the beginning of the special operation of the Russian Armed Forces.

In total, according to Blinken, with the arrival of Joe Biden to the White House, the Ukrainian side received military assistance from Washington for more than $2.4 billion. In addition, together with the United States, more than 30 countries provide military assistance to Kiev, Blinken added.

In turn, US President Joe Biden announced on April 13 a decision to provide Kiev with weapons for another $800 million. This support package included 11 Mi-17 helicopters, 200 armored personnel carriers, 18 howitzers and 40,000 artillery shells, 300 Switchblade loitering shells and 500 missiles for Javelin anti-tank systems.

Moscow has repeatedly warned the United States and other Western countries against continuing to supply weapons to the Kiev regime.

Thus, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, in an interview with TASS, said that Russia would stop attempts by the United States and Western countries to slow down the Russian special military operation in Ukraine.

He stressed that the US and NATO vehicles that ended up on the territory of Ukraine will be considered by the Russian Federation as legitimate military targets.

Industrial stimulus 


At the same time, a number of NATO member countries said that successive arms deliveries to Ukraine began to affect their own security.

So, back in mid-March, Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand on the air of the CBC television channel said that Ottawa had depleted stocks of anti-tank missiles, grenades, ammunition, sniper rifles and other military equipment to be sent to the forces of the Kiev regime.

Then, in early April, German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock said that there were hardly weapons left in the German military warehouses that could be supplied to Ukraine.

In addition, there are difficulties associated with the logistics and repair of old weapons systems, the German minister added.

In turn, Greek Defense Minister Nikos Panagiotopoulos told members of parliament that more supplies of weapons to Ukraine from the stocks of the Greek army are not planned, as this will weaken the country's defense capability.

Washington is calling on allies to send their weapons to Ukraine not to help the Kiev regime, but to create lucrative contracts to replace it for their defense concerns, Dmitry Litovkin is sure.

“As part of this process, the countries of Eastern Europe are sending Soviet weapons and military equipment to Ukraine, and the vacated niche will be replaced by American weapons.

Accordingly, the US initiates its production.

As a result, America receives a double benefit: it stimulates its military-industrial complex, which is one of the main sponsors of all presidential campaigns, and also receives a profit for weapons that will be sold to Europe, ”the expert explained.

At the same time, Ukraine will subsequently, one way or another, be obliged to pay for the weapons transferred to it, which will also be profitable for the United States, Dmitry Litovkin added.

In turn, Oleksandr Mykhaylov noted that the countries that stopped deliveries or reduced the intensity of military material support to Ukraine do not have the same developed military-industrial complex as America.

“Neither Canada nor Greece are states with a full-fledged military-industrial complex.

Only Germany can boast of the production of small arms, armored vehicles and automotive military equipment, which are primarily supplied to the ground forces, ”the expert emphasized.

America is unlikely to deplete its arsenals in the near future, but it may well happen with its NATO allies, Mikhailov added.

The American military-industrial machine, to its own benefit, will not allow the Pentagon warehouses to become empty, the expert believes.

“They are cleaning up their excess arsenals and transferring weapons to Kiev, where the zombie Ukrainian army continues to fight for the invented nationalist ideology imposed on them and for obscure American support without the participation of American military personnel.

Weapons are pieces of iron, they are not a pity.

But the American military-industrial complex will work and receive contracts from the gigantic defense budget.

Weapons for Washington are consumables, ”concluded the interlocutor of RT.
