SAEDNEWS: As Ukraine grapples with a severe domestic budget crisis, frustration is mounting against its Western allies for their slow response in delivering promised military aid aimed at supporting the ongoing NATO proxy war against Russia.

Ukraine Criticizes NATO Allies for Delays in Weapons Deliveries!

According to SAEDNEWS, Reports from Bloomberg, corroborated by Sputnik, indicate that several NATO countries have fallen short in fulfilling their military aid commitments to Ukraine. These delays come in the wake of the alliance's July summit, where pledges were made, including the expedited delivery of US-made Patriot surface-to-air missile defense systems to Kyiv. However, insiders suggest that these commitments are unlikely to be met by the autumn.

Countries such as the US, Germany, and Romania promised to send Patriot air defense systems, while the Netherlands and other nations were set to provide components to complete a battery. Italy also committed to supplying a SAMP-T air defense system for Ukraine. Yet, the sluggish pace of deliveries has led a frustrated President Volodymyr Zelensky to direct criticism at his NATO partners.

During a recent address, Zelensky specifically highlighted the US, UK, and France as "the main culprits," urging for "timely logistics for the announced aid packages." His remarks underscore Ukraine's urgent need for military support amidst ongoing conflict.

At the Washington summit in July, NATO countries declined Zelensky's request for an invitation to join the alliance but reaffirmed that Kyiv's path to membership was "irreversible." They also committed to a substantial €40-billion ($43 billion) aid package for Ukraine for the coming year.

The delay in delivering US Patriot systems has raised concerns about draining Western stockpiles, prompting the US to consider outsourcing production of these systems. Recently, Washington announced it would provide an older Patriot battery valued at $100 million as part of its latest security assistance package. This package was authorized through the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), allowing the Defense Department to donate military equipment without needing Congressional approval.

Meanwhile, in Germany, the second-largest military supplier to Ukraine in NATO after the US, a significant budget crisis is impacting the Defense Ministry’s ability to deliver promised weapons, equipment, and ammunition. This disruption further complicates Ukraine’s efforts to secure the necessary military support in its fight against Russian aggression.
