Part 5/9:
The Economic and Logistical Dimensions of Warfare
As the conflict continues, the economic sustainability of Ukraine remains precarious. With significant reliance on external military and economic backing from allies, the implications of U.S. support withdrawal could drastically alter the battlefield dynamics. The analysis contemplates whether European states can adequately fill the support void left by the U.S., hinting that it may be an unrealistic expectation based on their current capabilities.
Furthermore, assessments of logistical factors identify that Ukrainian forces are increasingly unable to maintain supply lines critical for an sustained offensive. This state of affairs could prove detrimental in times of attrition, where the ability to replace losses is paramount.
