🧵We should stop weapons supply to #Ukraine, cause the more weapons, the longer war and the more casualties! Risky and manipulative argument, used by loyal to #Russia experts and politicians to stop soppier of UA. Here are several counter arguments to that. 1/
Military counter argument. UA army is efficient in repelling massive offensive. RU had to leave Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy and almost all Kharkiv regions. 4 weeks of attacks in Luhansk obl. didn’t bring RU control over main cities, besides of Kreminna. RU occupied there rural areas
Success in repelling RU offensive happened BEFORE massive weapons delivery to UA. Decisions on new massive supplies, including of heavy offensive weapons, started being made on the edge of March-April and continues now.
Once armed much better, UA army is callable of even more efficient counteroffensive operations. Not only in Donbas, but definitely in Kherson, part of Zaporizhzhya. Better armament means not prolongation, but first of all effective short-term counterattacks. #ArmUkraineNow
In fact, the best chance to decrease scope of the war and prevent conflict for many years forward, is to support #Ukraine as massively, as possible, and in the shortest possible time. #ArmUkraineNow
Now humanitarian counter argument. Lack of weapons and defense capacities will bring not a ceasefire, but #WarCrimes and civilians casualties in occupied areas. #BuchaMassacre is what happens, when there is no weapons and UA army has to step back.
No weapons means #occupation. Now none international org-n is able to make #Russia confirm humanitarian corridors, stop #deportation and illegal conscription of UA men to RU army and army of self-proclaimed “L/DPR”. Neither can they influence destiny of deported people in 🇷🇺
And political argument, as the final point. Appeasers of Russia omit the fact, that #Putin isn’t seeking constructive agreement at this stage. He wants the whole South and #Donbas, at least, before a military pause. War is on the stage, when military front is still prevailing
