Vladimir Datsenko, a columnist for the Ukrainian Forbes, shared his analytics. He told how significantly US military assistance to Ukraine has changed over the course of almost six months of the war.
Faith in Ukraine grew gradually
Datsenko noted that at the beginning, only weapons for close combat arrived in Ukraine. We are talking about anti-tank systems, light weapons, body armor, and also a helmet.
The transition of the second phase was observed at the end of April. Then there were artillery battles. And it was during this period that our military experienced a significant shortage of shells for Soviet-style installations.The observer noted that this was the reason that the Armed Forces of Ukraine used Soviet artillery less actively and intensively. There simply wasn't that much ammunition left before her.
Activity in providing artillery systems fell on April-June. Then the United States supplied us with dozens of cars. Since July, there has been a certain slowdown in the supply of this particular type of weapon.

The United States can focus on containment
The analyst suggests that the US follows a clear strategy in providing weapons. Like, we only get what allows us to deter the enemy.But we are not provided with resources for offensive operations. And this hypothesis sheds light on one category that sags significantly. We are talking about an armored car.
As the expert noted, the Armed Forces of Ukraine almost do not receive them from the United States. But it should be understood that suitable machines are as important at the front as installations. With their help, it is possible to save the lives of the Ukrainian military.
Datsenko noted that during the mobile war, soldiers have to regularly move along the front. To do this, our military now use civilian SUVs,undergone a certain modernization before going to war. But they can only provide speed. But protection is practically out of the question.
If we had more armored vehicles, then, the observer is convinced, it would be more effective to organize counterattacks. At the same time, offensive actions mostly carried out by light infantry. And this becomes the reason for the loss of losses among the Ukrainian military.
The United States used only half of the funds
Estimates indicate that The United States used half of the funds. about the same 40 billion allocated for military assistance to Ukraine in countering Russian aggression.
The observer noted that you can endlessly support Ukraine and help it contain Russia. But you can go the other way. It is about providing the necessary equipment in sufficient quantities. In this case, it will be possible to defeat the enemy much faster than he himself realizes that he will not be able to succeed.
