“The Russian land forces are pretty depleted so it’s the best indication that they will turn this into an air fight. If the Ukrainians are going to survive…they need to have as many air defence capabilities and as much ammunition…as possible,” the official added. “More than 80 per cent probably is safe and available…So we are expecting that they’re preparing to launch an air campaign and they’ve been trying to [disable] Ukrainian air defences with attacks,” the diplomat said.
“What Ukraine tells us that they really need is ammunition and additional air defence capabilities,” a western official said. While Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week rekindled a debate among allies about whether or not to send fighter jets, a U.S. official said these were less important than ammunition in the near term as Ukraine looked to maintain an edge.
