No new Ukrainian offensive this year despite NATO aid – NYT

NATO officials do not expect Kiev to mount a new attempt to push back Russian troops this year, despite billions of dollars worth of new weapons pledged by member states, the New York Times reported on Thursday.

Kiev was promised more missiles, armored vehicles, and munitions this week at a NATO summit in Washington, and the US and its allies signed a long-term pledge of assistance. But it will take months and years before the weapons are delivered, considering that some of them are yet to be manufactured, the newspaper said.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, one senior NATO official told the Times that the aid puts Kiev on the path to a new offensive next year. Another one said Ukrainian troops would remain on the defensive for at least six more months. ...

It's a stalemate like the Western front in 1917.
It wasn't till the Yanks arrived and kicked the Germans out that WW1 ended.

The Yanks will have to arrive in Ukraine as part of NATO -
a coalition of the willing - and kick the Russians out.
