CNN —
The US will transfer thousands of seized Iranian weapons and rounds of ammunition to Ukraine, in a move that could help to alleviate some of the critical shortages facing the Ukrainian military as it awaits more money and equipment from the US and its allies, US officials said.

US Central Command is set to announce the policy as soon as this week, officials said.

It is not clear what legal authorities the US will use to facilitate the weapons’ transfer – the UN requires that seized weapons be destroyed or stored. The Biden administration has for months been weighing how to legally send the weapons, which are stored in CENTCOM facilities across the Middle East, to the Ukrainians.

EU, too, can find a legal venue to use/ oligarchs' seized financial assets to buy weapons and/or rebuild infrastructure in Ukraine.

With continued NATO support, yes. At least it's possible.

It doesn't have to beat Russia. It only has to resist and deny occupation.

It seems coming to an end

USA already tested all their weapons on Ukraine for free, with Ukraine money.

Basically, there's no incentive to continue anymore.

Yup, the war is coming to an end.

US happy to watch live feed of Ukrainians run into Russian razor wire and mine fields while been shot at by heavy machine guns and artillery fire trying to recapture 1metre by sacrificing 1000lives only for that 1m to be lost 2 hrs later.

Yes because without American and NATO support, Ukraine would not last this long. As long as the support is coming in, they can put up a fight.

This is a grand opportunity for NATO to inflict damage on the Russian Federation without a single casualty on their side. Unless you count volunteers.
