(Berlin News) In response to the Russian and Ukraine War, the United States is stepping up military assistance to Ukraine. The European Union also burst into the purchase of fatal weapons for Kiev, but military aid transportation faces various potential obstacles.
The Voice of Germany reported that as of now, military assistance from the West has been transported through land or air according to the type of weapon.However, the Ukrainian airspace is now controlled by the Russian fighter jets, and the Russian army can intercept weapon transportation through air strikes and missile strikes.
Grase, an expert in Eastern Europe and Defense Policy of the European Foreign Relations Committee think tanks, said: "If the Russian army knows the transportation route, it will be able to find out how these weapons are transported through surveillance."
The possibility of the Russian army intercepting weapons transportation makes Poland the focus, especially after Hungary refused to let the fatal weapon transit.The border between Poland and Ukraine is 535 kilometers. For a long time, the U.S. military and other Polish dispatched troops and transportation equipment have been passed through Polish.
Arnold, a European security issue researcher at the Royal Institute of the British Think Tank, said: "At present, all these military devices are basically gathered on the Polish border. Even if other countries are consumed, such as Slovakia, it may not be theThe route that is easy to transport, because the mountains from Slovakia to Romania have formed geographical obstacles. "He said that there are currently only two feasible routes, one of which is close to the White Ross border and the other is slightly south.
If the Western fleet is attacked, it may exacerbate tensions
Expert Fino, an expert in the weapon diffusion issue of the Geneva Security Policy Center, pointed out that if the Western team or transportation is being transportedTo stop or be attacked, this is likely to exacerbate tensions.
Arnold added that this risk made the Russians temporarily motionless, but he was still surprised by the Russian side without cutting off the Western supply."If you win these two routes, it is very useful for their strategy."
Another key factor is time. The time for Kiev and Halkov's Ukraine to reinforce the reinforcement is passing quickly.Arnold said that if it is not transferred to the west of Dnieper River as soon as possible, the Ukraine on the front line of the East may be cut off.
Is there any other way to send Western weapons to Ukraine?Arnold pointed out: "One possibility is that soldiers in Ukraine or other countries have recruited military aid weapons in Poland and then took them over the border, but this cannot transport too many weapons."
He believesAt this stage, the situation of the supplies of the Ukraine ammunition is particularly worrying."The ammunition inventory of the Ukraine's supply of heavy weapons may be enough for five days. One choice is to use the weapons left by the Russian army, which allows them to support it for a while, but it cannot support it for too long.
