Moscow, July 20 – Politico columnist Paul McCleary writes that the West’s strategy for arming Ukraine is shifting from delivering military hardware to repairing it.
As the journalist noted, Kiev has accumulated an “amazing and diverse arsenal of equipment” that needs maintenance.
According to McCleary, the issue of repairing malfunctioning equipment in Ukraine has become very acute against the background of the “heavy” counterattack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian counteroffensive began on 4 June. Kiev has deployed NATO-trained brigades armed with Western technology, including the famous Leopard tanks. As Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu stated on July 11, the enemy did not achieve its goals in any direction, and its losses exceeded 26,000 soldiers, 1,244 tanks, thousands of equipment, 21 aircraft, and six helicopters. Among the destroyers were 17 Leopards, five French AMX wheeled tanks, 12 American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, 43 M777 howitzers and 46 self-propelled guns from Poland, the USA and France.
