  • A steady flow of Soviet-made weapons is flowing into Ukraine.

  • NATO countries have sent 17,000 anti-tank weapons to Ukraine.

  • The Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland have re-supplied Ukraine with Soviet-era weapons.

According to The Wall Street Journal, a large portion of the weapons being sent to Ukraine are Soviet-made.

Over the course of several weeks, NATO allies have sent 17,000 antitank weapons to Ukraine.

Central European NATO countries used to be part of the Soviet Union. According to the report, the Czech Republic has sent the most equipment.

The Czech Republic sent 12 Dragunov rifles and Strela-2 missiles, as well as 73mm BWP1 and SPG-9, to the Soviets.

There are 12,000 rounds of Soviet-made anti-tank ammunition in Slovakia.

On Tuesday, Poland announced that it would deliver all of its Soviet-made fighter jets to a US air base in Germany, which would allow the US to transfer the fleet to Ukraine. John Kirby, Pentagon press secretary, said that the plan raises serious concerns for the entire NATO alliance.

It is not clear to us that there is a substantive rationale for it.

As Russia has continued its aerial campaign across the country, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has called on NATO to create a no-fly zone over the country. NATO is worried that a no-fly zone could escalate the war.

According to the Ukrainian government, Russian forces have waged an intense war on Ukraine since late February, engaging in heavy shelling and missile attacks that have hit residential buildings, an orphanage, kindergartens, and a children's hospital.

Kherson, the third-largest city in the country, was captured by Russia last week, after being under intense shelling and airstrikes.

Russia's campaign so far has united Western nations in unprecedented ways, who have also unleashed wide-ranging sanctions on Putin and his allies, while global businesses and news outlets have ceased operations in Russia.
