(Biden at the NATO summit)
According to reference news citing Russian media reports, Biden claimed to the media at the NATO summit that the United States was wooing its "global allies" to provide military aid to Ukraine, and in response to US Defense Secretary Austin's "proposal" Now, more than 50 countries have pledged to provide Ukraine with more weapons.

Biden listed the "commitments" - 600 tanks alone, 500 artillery pieces ; and 60 10,000 pieces of ammunition and 140,000 sets of anti-tank weapons; in addition, the multiple rocket launcher systems, anti-ship missiles , and anti-aircraft weapons that have been provided previously will continue to be supplied to Ukraine.

This large-scale military assistance may change the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian army to a certain extent, and may even cause the Ukrainian army to overtake the local Russian army in some areas.

Before that, NATO had issued a signal that Ukraine must "continue fighting". Zelensky also declared that it was not the time to negotiate with Putin . It can be seen that Ukraine should be Waiting for this wave of military aid after the NATO summit. Kiev has also asked the Group of Seven to support it in "ending everything" before the end of this year, which implies that Ukraine hopes to achieve a "big counteroffensive" on the battlefield with the military assistance of the United States and NATO.

However, although Biden's data is exaggerated, it is just a "promise". How many countries will actually implement these into actions? The United States itself do not know either. In fact, let alone other countries, U.S. military aid is not delivered in one step. In many cases, the weapons assistance promised by the United States will only be slowly transported to Ukraine, and after entering Ukraine, Ukraine will be responsible for the transportation. These weapons The process of transporting them to the front line is also very long, and during this period they are often attacked by long-range firepower from the Russian army. Therefore, the so-called military assistance has not been able to fully play its role on the front line.

Russia's attitude towards military intervention by the United States and Western countries is also very clear, that is, it will not help solve the crisis in Ukraine. As long as weapons enter Ukraine, Russia will The army dares to fight. Under pressure from Russia, the United States and its allies actually do not dare to take too many risks. They do not dare to provide Ukraine with too many advanced weapons, such as the " Seamaster " long-range fire. Although it is powerful, Ukraine cannot use it. The Ukrainian army did not obtain real long-range ammunition, and the quantity was not large, which resulted in the Ukrainian army's strength not being significantly improved. It was only recently that the United States announced that it would provide NASAMS air defense weapons to Ukraine, but there has been no report of results.

In the Donbas region where Russia and Ukraine are fighting fiercely, the Russian army is now achieving an overwhelming advantage. Lisichansk has been breached, and the Russian army is no longer close to its goal of controlling Lugansk . Far. In addition, the Russian army continues to bombard other areas of Ukraine, including Kharkov and so on. Judging from the actual situation on the battlefield, Russia still has the advantage. Even if the United States and its allies commit massive military aid, it will take a long time to process from approval and preparation to transportation, transfer, and personnel training. Therefore, Biden's promise seems to be "big thunder but little rain", and Ukraine is still being passively beaten.
