This is dated today---and Zelensky is still indulging opium dreams of "unblocking" Mariupol, a city that is thoroughly under Russian control, with his den of Azov beasts trapped in a tomb? Of course, he needs more weapons---and everything! His much-vaunted and largely mythological victorious army has melted into the sand, with tanks destroyed, ammunition and fuel depots captured or destroyed, and soldiers being defeated, killed, or surrendering. Surely, he knows better---it seems he is getting more desperate, more urgent.
Western leaders should step back and recognize the symptoms of a guy who is desperate for his next dose. Now, the battle has turned in such a way that the Russian forces are arming themselves with the Western weapons recovered from the fleeing Ukrainian forces. The Donetsk forces are looking forward to being more generously supplied with Western weapons.
