Canada 'empties warehouse' on aid to Ukraine
(Baonghean.vn) - According to RIA Novosti on March 29, when asked about additional military support for Ukraine, Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair told the Globe & Mail that Ottawa had "emptied its warehouses". Mr. Blair added that Canada no longer had artillery shells or anti-aircraft missiles.
According to Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair, he recently agreed with his Ukrainian colleagues that Canada will purchase drones and transfer them to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
It will take at least two years to restore Canada's industrial base, Minister Blair added.
In addition, the Globe & Mail's military source said that Canadian generals want to continue supporting Ukraine, but are concerned that if important equipment has already been transferred to Kiev, additional aid will never be provided.
A Globe&Mail war correspondent traveled to Ukraine in early March 2024 and said: According to the Ukrainian military, they are much closer to defeat than Kiev's allies think.
According to RT, former French NATO general Jerome Pellistrandi said in an interview with the French newspaper La Depeche on March 27 that the Russian Armed Forces have made a lot of progress since Ukraine withdrew its troops from the Avdeevka stronghold in the East in mid-February 2024. Russian troops are approaching Chasov Yar and Kharkov.
"In fact, Russia has presented a tactical dilemma to the Ukrainian Command, forcing Kiev to choose between defending its territory at the risk of significant losses, or retreating and abandoning its territory," former NATO general Pellistrandi said, adding that this is the "trap" that Moscow has set for Kiev./.
