This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukraine may have to wait another year before launching a new counteroffensive against Russian forces, a NATO official told The New York Times.
But the new aid will take weeks or even months to arrive at the front line, the Times reported, with much of the support long-term assistance.
As such, a senior US defense official told The Times that Ukraine would remain on the defensive for the next six months, while an unnamed senior NATO official told the outlet that the aid would enable Ukraine to push back against Russia in 2025.
Ukrainian officials have regularly complained that Western aid arrives piecemeal and is often too late to make a decisive difference on the battlefield.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at the summit on Thursday, appealed to the US to lift the restrictions.
Meanwhile, Western weapons that were highly effective during Ukraine’s drive that pushed Russia’s military back in 2022, such as GPS-guided long-range missiles, are notably less effective now due to improvements in Russian electronic warfare.
