PERHAPS I’m taking an over-simplistic view, but it seems to me that the war in Ukraine is prolonged because of the slow drip, drip of weapons being supplied by the West.
Ukraine has been asking for F16s for many months and they have always been refused, yet I believe they will eventually be supplied. If only the West had just supplied what was needed from the start, I believe the war would already over.
The West claims that Russia can’t be allowed to win this war, yet Zelensky must continually beg the West for the weapons they need to make that possible. Why?

NAIL hit on head Sheila. Basically we do not have enough weapons or money to keep this up, America and the UK are the countries that keep saying NO to the peace deal that Zelensky had signed when Turkey’s President Erdogan brokered a peace deal 18 months ago, yet they keep blaming Russia for prolonging and escalating the war, and everything else for that matter.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
