From: Kyiv Post — He said that only two and a half of the ten brigades planned with Western allies have been fully equipped, despite agreements made over a year ago.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized that the shortage of weapons and equipment—not personnel—is the main challenge facing the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Speaking to Sky News, he addressed calls from allies to lower the country’s draft age to increase troop numbers.
He said that only two and a half of the ten brigades planned with Western allies have been fully equipped, despite agreements made over a year ago.
“They speak about mobilization, but the real problem is ten brigades our partners didn’t equip. I asked them more than a year ago [to help with equipping] these brigades. We made a solution with the United States and with European allies, but for today, Europe and the US are totally equipping two and a half brigades,” Zelensky stated.
