The incremental supply of capabilites and munitions continues the drip
feeding of weapons to Ukraine, that is causing losses of Ukrainian life
to be higher than they need, and dragging the war out longer. Sir
Richard Shirreff argues we should give Ukraine the tools it needs to do
the job to eject Russia from all its territory. The latest prevarication
about NATO entry for Ukraine at the Vilnius summit should therefore not
come as a surprise.
