Arms deliveries to Ukraine: “The Achilles’ Heel” of the West

“The West is Playing with Fire in Ukraine,” “The Russian-Ukrainian Conflict and the Achilles’ Heel,” “Why Europe is Splitting over Ukraine Arms Deliveries.” These and similar headlines in the Middle Eastern publications reflect the response of local media and political circles to the West’s recent increase in arms deliveries to Kyiv.

According to local analysts, the West has thrown all the forces of its information conglomerate against Russia and President Vladimir Putin personally. In order to get to the truth, analysts have to break through the thick veil of lies and disinformation created around Ukraine.

Zelensky, notes the Iraqi newspaper, has painted Ukraine as “a bulwark on the way of the Russian offensive.” Presumably, if Kyiv loses, then Europe’s next on Putin’s menu. The head of the Kyiv regime, in his rousing reports about the victories of his army, sang along with the West, hoping for new deliveries of equipment. He particularly pinned his hopes on successes in the battle for Soledar. His disinformation was aimed at Western media, who seized upon it to create a picture of “unwavering” NATO support for Kyiv.

Soledar has fallen, the city has become Russia’s key to Bakhmut and from there to all of Donbass.  Some believe that there has been a shift in the special military operation in Ukraine in favor of Moscow, which has shaken the political designs of the West.  The latter placed a bet on the Ukrainian army like a horse in a race, but lost, as the world saw.
