Times of San Diego: Ukraine's main weakness lies in dependence on Western weapons

In the article, the observer listed three advantages of Russia over Ukraine in this conflict.

Crespo called the first advantage of Russia that it has the largest reserves.

In addition, the economist noted, Ukraine does not have sufficient industrial capacity that could support the Ukrainian armed forces.

As for its war economy, it is completely dependent on the US, Crespo added.

“This dependence on the weapons of other countries, as shown by the lack of ammunition in Ukraine, represents a fundamental weakness of Kyiv,” he stressed.

Also, Kyiv's allies do not have an established position regarding this conflict, the observer concluded.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are currently facing a shortage of artillery, ammunition, military aircraft and tanks.
