NATO Member Tells Alliance Not To Send Troops to Ukraine

Ukraine was the heart of the Soviet defense industrial base, so they have a lot of know-how when it comes to manufacturing complex systems,

Eric Ciaramella, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment's Russia and Eurasia Program, told the Journal

Every decision to which we, then later everyone together, comes to is late by around one year,

he told Reuters in May

What makes troop deployments especially significant as an escalation risk is the public attention that comes with having 'boots on the ground,

Payne said

To the extent that we are seeing statements pouring cold water on this today, it reflects that underlying unease about the escalatory potential of the conflict,

Andrew Payne, senior lecturer in foreign policy and security at City St.

At a time when the future U.S. commitment to the conflict is in question, I don't anticipate any broader shift in the current European posture, which essentially amounts to a commitment to fight to the last Ukrainian,

Payne added

Ukrainians can handle all of this, when we can deliver all what they need,

Pevkur told the U.S. outlet during the Halifax International Security Forum in Canada

There was a huge momentum in this war during the Kursk counteroffensive, but that time, Ukrainians didn't have enough equipment or enough firepower to push even further,

he noted

That means there’s twice as much capacity in Ukrainian industry. So when you don’t have anything to give from your own stockpiles, give them money, it’s a simple message,

he said

State guarantees are an additional financial instrument for the procurement of military equipment for the Armed Forces with a long production cycle. With the help of such guarantees, the Ministry of Defence is scaling up the capabilities of the domestic defence industry,

Kanievskyi added

These contracts open a new page in cooperation between the Ministry of Defence and the private sector. The conclusion of contracts involving state guarantees is an important signal to businesses: the state is ready to support responsible manufacturers capable of providing the military with modern solutions and quality products,
