It is reported that although Western countries have sent a large number of weapons to Ukraine since the outbreak of the Russian -Ukraine conflict, it has been reluctant to provide the farthest -range missile system, combat aircraft or NATO standard tanks. Kyiv is now worried that despite the guarantee of the United States and European countries, Russia's announcement of some military mobilization may lead to Western refusal to provide weapons that it may cause directly confrontation with Russia.

Bloomberg pointed out that because Russia will convene 300,000 reserve soldiers during the implementation of some mobilizations, the URA will currently launch an offensive and obtain a fast breakthrough time window may be closed.

The US media mentioned that Mikhail Podoliak, director of the Presidential Office of Ukraine, tweeted on the 21st, "The best response to the upgrade of Russia is: HIMARS (Hamas multi -tube rocket system), ATACMS (Army Army (Army Army) Tactical missile system), Abrams tank, leopard tank ". Over the past few months, Ukraine has been asking the West to provide the ATACMS system -the rocket range of the rockets used has reached 300 kilometers -and a large number of other weapons and equipment for the Ukraine to continue to launch the offensive. In an interview with the United States Broadcasting Corporation (CBS) on the 25th, President Ukradiski asked the West to provide more multi -barrier rocket systems, artillery, air defense systems and tanks in the West.

However, a senior European official told Bloomberg that the weapon flowing to Kyiv was unlikely to increase significantly, and it was unlikely to break the taboo of the West in weapon type, because the United States was cautious about this, and the key weapon inventory of European countries themselves It is decreasing.

On the second day (22nd) that Russia announced some mobilization, Patrick Ryder, a spokesman for the US Department of Defense, said at a press conference that the Russian party announced that the Pentagon would not affect the Ukraine Military for the Pentagon. The way of assistance and pointed out that it involved a gradual process from the beginning. In this process, the decision of the United States to send to Ukraine is verified in order to avoid causing another world war.

The four officials quoted by Bloomberg have stated that there are no signs that the European governments will take any action to provide a new round of heavy weapons assistance to Kyiv. Among them, the German "Leopard" tank is the focus of controversy, because several NATO countries -including Spain, the Netherlands, Norway, Greece, and Turkey, and Finland, which have become NATO candidates -all use this tank. However, only by obtaining a German permit can various countries provide tanks to third parties, and Germany has not agreed.

A person familiar with the matter said that so far, Germany has not received a formal request from other countries to ask Germany to allow export of "Leopard" tanks to Ukraine.

Bloomberg pointed out that Wufang had previously received some Soviet tanks, including Poland. Due to insufficient inventory, Poland is waiting for the receiving 116 second -hand "Abrams" tanks from the United States early next year, and then transport more equipment to Ukraine. Due to the shortage, it is unlikely to provide new batches of equipment to Wu in the short term.

It is reported that an official of the Pentagon said earlier this month that the Bayeng government may agree to provide the "Gray Eagle" drone equipped with the "Hell Fire" missile. However, the Biden government has always been cautious about providing fighter aircraft, worried that this will make NATO involved in conflict. The United States also pointed out that high -tech equipment such as the latest model "Abrams" tank requires a lot of training and maintenance.

Because of the lack of funds and experiencing the election season, Italy has ranked the Ukraine's aid affairs on the list of priority. Sources who knows the Italian government plan told Bloomberg that since July, the country has slowed down to Kyiv's weapons. (Edit: HHJ)
