the elephant in the room you never mentioned was US funding .....seems Johnson will be forced to introduce the legislation soon ....we'll see what transpires
also some more shells coming to Urkaine mid year , about the same time as the first of the F-16's
the nuke option would be a desperate act by putin and I believe would trigger a reaction by NATO that would ensure his defeatr in Ukraine . the value of the nukes to russia are the blackmail value .....I don't believe putin is in a postion to follow through
