This segment of What’s Ahead deals with a basic question: Do Joe Biden and his team really want Ukraine to win this war?
Ukraine desperately needs particular kinds of advanced ground and air weapons systems to halt and then hurl back Russian forces in the eastern part of the country. Unlike in the western section, the east’s flat terrain—ideal for Russian tank superiority—and short supply lines are enabling Russian forces to gradually grind away Ukrainian defenses.
Yet Biden slow-walks Ukraine’s urgent requests for the necessary weaponry: tanks, long-range rocket artillery and fighter aircraft.
With proper aircraft, for example, Ukraine could smash the Russian blockade of the Black Sea, freeing up badly needed grain for a world facing lethal food shortages.
Even when Biden gets around to approving a particular advanced system, the numbers of weapons provided are small.
All this is shameful and shortsighted.
