I can’t speak for Europe, but not the US.
It’s given only $10B in military aid.
8,500 Javelins
25-30K AT-4 anti armor rockets
1,500 Stingers
16 HIMARS
126 M777s
16 M119s
2K drones
800K 155 ammo
In the grand scheme, it’s not much for the US military.

Its unfortunate that Putin (despite his KGB background in the craft of intelligence) fell into the same trap as less intelligent people like Saddam and Qaddafi. Saddam would very much have still been in power if after Collin Powell lied to the UN he would have opened himself to inspectors instead of playing hardball. Putin should have known that the myth of superpower status and having gas as the lever to Europe was better than a war that breaks and exposes the myth.
This is what happens with despots: their advisors fear for their lives and so nobody gives honest advice. Instead the adviers tell the boss what he wants to hear and it does the country in
Support goes some of the way but the will to fight has to exist. Thats what striker1982 is talking about. You can have all the support in the world but if you can't fight you are toast. Look at the Afghan National Army. Years of training, equipment and $ approaching only that of Israel. They gave up to Taliban in motorcycles.
UA did the first round of resistance on their own with western arms that were defensive in nature. They had to pay in blood and courage to push Russians back, and then get the offensive assistance.
Yemenis and Mujahadeens and now Ukrainians have set an example in terms of courage against superior adversary.

A lot is an exaggeration. They may have dipped a lot into the defensive stockpile (Stingers, Javelins) but the offensive capability they gave (HIMARS) , there is plenty left. Same with artillery pieces from othe rcountries. Air dropped weapons, and the entire air force inventory is very much in tact as well as long range PGMs. Only surface to surface artillery likely < 10% of it.

Stingers haven’t been delivered since the early stage of the war. The US has given 8,500 Javelins, about 35-40% of its stockpile. A significant number, but that will be backfilled and there’s so many anti tank weapons in Ukraine, Russia will never be able to outnumber them.
Artillery about 500K delivered and 300K for future delivery. US stockpile of 155mm is 5M+.

Not all of them are usable. Most are expired. Some are used by US army for training. Realistically about 1 or 2 million tops.

Is anyone really surprised how this will turn out. The longer it goes the worse it gets for Russia.

Situation in the #Nikolaev-#KrivoyRog direction at the end of 7 September 2022️
On the ninth day since the Ukrainian offensive on Kherson began, the frontline has stabilised. The AFU are still trying to expand their bridgehead to advance further towards Novaya Kakhovka and #Kherson, but are unable to build on their earlier success.
In the #Andreevka sector, the Ukrainian command continues to cling to Sukhoy Stavok and the surrounding settlements, trying to rotate the units there.
Russian Ground and Airborne Forces artillery is pounding enemy positions in the narrow "intestine" near #Andreevka. Tornado-S MLRSs struck precisely at the AFU position near #Bereznegovatoye, and aerial bombs hit the bridgehead near Sukhoy Stavok. Russian units also approached the eastern outskirts of #Belogorka, which had been attacked by Su-34 bombers in recent days.
Ukrainian militants are suffering losses of personnel and equipment. Vehicles with wounded and killed fighters drive almost continuously through #Bereznegovatoye towards the north. Equipment damaged by the attacks is also being transported through the village.
In the #PosadPokrovskoye sector, Ukrainian militants continue their attempts to entrench themselves west of the village of Ternovye Pody. Meanwhile, TRO brigade units are in no hurry to take new positions, having suffered heavy losses in suicide attacks in recent days.
In the #Snigirovka sector, it is relatively quit. The AFU are not actively going on the offensive and are trying to drop shells from helicopters on the positions of the Russian paratroopers in the previously captured #Blagodatnoye.
In the #Olgino and #Vysokopolye areas there are no changes on the front line.
