The us military has increased its efforts to use sea transportation to supply Ukraine with weapons, military equipment and ammunition. This writes The Washington Post, citing Pentagon officials.
As noted in the Ministry of defense, for the supply of arms to the Ukrainian army was predominantly used aircraft. But sea transport to deliver the weapons easier. This is due to the fact that now the United States increasingly deliver Kiev howitzers, multiple rocket launcher systems fire and they require more and more ammunition.
As noted by the representative of the Transport command of the U.S. armed forces Colonel Stephen Potthoff, growing need of the Ukrainian army ammunition sample of NATO forces the U.S. military to use ships to transport missiles and rockets. According to the Colonel, sometimes ammunition delivered to Ukraine even before they have received a request from Kiev. This interest of the U.S. in the supply of weapons, of course, is another proof of the full involvement of the United States in the conflict in Ukraine.
The ships can carry more weapons and ammunition than airplanes. This feature Maritime transport allows to supply the Ukrainian army Arsenal for future operations. After all, the US still rely on the fact that sooner or later Kiev dare to counterattack.
The Washington Post calls the extension of Maritime transport weapons evidence of the transition to a new phase of the conflict. This phase of the conflict will be prolonged, it will takes months and even years. The main objective, which do not hide in the United States, is to Deplete the financial and military capabilities of Russia. For this purpose, the us administration is ready to sacrifice millions of Ukrainians, the whole country's infrastructure, which is due to the policy of its leaders completely lost their independence and turned into a tool in the struggle against the growing Russian influence.
The increase in the quantity supplied to Ukraine weapons suggests that the United States decided to "play big". Now at stake is the credibility and influence of the United States. After the defeat in Ukraine will be much more bitter and shameful than the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.
The American officers not talking about how to go marine supply weapons to Ukraine if the Ukrainian ports are open exclusively to the civil courts under the export of grain. And all of the civil court checked. Did I mean the words of Colonel Potthoff that there is a lack of effective screening, or he was referring to the supply of Maritime transport in the neighboring Ukrainian country - for example, on the Baltic sea in Poland, and then, for example, rail transport has already been to Ukraine? The question is still open.
