Ukrainian soldiers in the Donbas are fed up waiting for Western munitions

www.lemonde.fr Ukrainian soldiers in the Donbas are fed up waiting for Western munitions

Neither the shells included in the 'Czech plan' announced this winter, nor those tied to US aid approved at the end of April, have reached the front line, undermining the morale of Ukrainian troops.

I guess nobody explained to them that the west is now deindustrialized and doesn't have the capacity to produce munitions in the numbers this proxy war requires.

I wish Russia wouldn't using Ukraine as a proxy for the US. So much suffering and death amongst brethren,.for what?
- Russia tried to negotiate with the west for 8 years. Then they almost made a deal within the first two months of the war that the west sabotaged. It's pretty clear that the west wants the war to go on as long as possible.
  
  I will still never understand Putin turning on nearby brothers as a way to hurt the west. He throws his own into the same meat grinder. Why? It's not even a thing that registers on the average American's radar, but Russia is now on a war footing to fight old allies? It makes no sense.
  
  I agree about the west (or at least the US) wanting the war to continue as long as possible, but Russia had already backtracked on deals it had already signed on before, why would Ukraine willingly give up anything to a nation that doesn't keep their promises?
