Tishkevich said that everyone wants to weaken Russia/Channel 24 Collage
Now the world is interested in weakening Russia, however, unfortunately, no one wants to allow a real collapse of the aggressor. At the same time, this affects the supply of weapons to Ukraine.
Igor Tishkevich, an analyst and expert at the Ukrainian Institute for the Future, told Channel 24 about this. He stressed that the key countries of the Western world, unfortunately, are not interested in the collapse of Russia.
The limit of Russia's weakening
According to the analyst, most likely, when the aggressor state is on the verge of a significant weakening, the so-called “Bush legs” can be sent there again. Everything to keep it from falling apart.
Everyone is playing to weaken Russia, even China. However, each country has a different border. France, Germany, Italy, and partially other states of the European Union have already crossed this limit,” Tishkevich said.
That is why they are now trying to save the face of Russian President Vladimir Putin. For example, freezing the conflict, or something else.
The analyst explained that the Ukrainians are promised to hand over weapons, and even the relevant declarations. Not a single country refuses, but the deadlines are very slow. That is, we are assured that everything will be fine, but not immediately.
What help depends on
According to Tishkevich, assistance to our state from the United States of America depended not so much on the political position of Ukraine, but on the armed forces and the state of Ukrainian society. supplies from the USA. The first weeks, when few believed that Ukraine could resist, there was almost nothing. However, then, on the 4th – 5th week of a full-scale invasion, real help began to arrive. – noted the analyst.
He suggested that the situation near Kyiv, Chernigov and Sumy was a turning point. That is, then the Ukrainian army with old Soviet weapons was able to resist the Russian invaders and show the whole world what the Ukrainians are capable of.
Burnt supplies
Also, according to Tishkevich, now we have objective problems with weapons. At the same time, we are talking not only about the loss of equipment, but also about the arsenal.
For example, from 2017 to 2018, 5 warehouses with weapons burned down. Then the authorities each time assured us that nothing terrible had happened, but something was burning there. years of war in the Donbas,” Tishkevich said.
Transition to NATO standards
As the analyst noted, the transition to NATO calibers is not only help, but an urgent need. He explained that Russia not only had significant stocks of Soviet munitions, but could also produce them. At the same time, Ukraine simply does not have anywhere to get them.
The pace of supply of weapons to Ukraine (not only aid, but also sales) is very slow. At the same time, both one and the other have issues of artificial braking, – Tishkevich emphasized.
He also stressed that the more effectively Ukraine operates, the more it can hope for large volumes of equipment. Unfortunately, so far the necessary minimum is being received so that we do not fail, and this is not at all the necessary minimum for us to be successful.

Ukraine's Arms Transfer Delay: Last
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that our defenders really need weapons now . He stressed that the weapons should work at a distance that the Ukrainian army needs.
- Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar said that now the Armed Forces of Ukraine have only 10% of the weapons that our country asks from the West. She stressed that we use all our strength and power, but the enemy has much more. That is why we need help.
- Advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Viktor Andrusiv suggested that there might be some informal agreements between Germany and Russia. This is probably why the Germans are still delaying the provision of weapons to Ukraine.
