    NATO sent a bunch of weapons to Ukraine and now wants to see some PR return on that investment. Meanwhile, we’re now seeing admissions in western media that Ukraine was forced into offensive with insufficient weapons and training:

    When Ukraine launched its big counteroffensive this spring, Western military officials knew Kyiv didn’t have all the training or weapons—from shells to warplanes—that it needed to dislodge Russian forces. But they hoped Ukrainian courage and resourcefulness would carry the day.
