The West's failure to send weapons to Kyiv is helping Putin win his war.

Just ask a Ukrainian soldier if he still believes the West will stand by Kyiv "for as long as it takes." That pledge rings hollow when it's been four weeks since your artillery unit last had a shell to fire, as one serviceman complained from the front lines.

It's not just that Ukraine's forces are running out of ammunition. Western delays over sending aid mean the country is dangerously short of something even harder to supply than shells: the fighting spirit required to win.

With America for a friend... you don't need any enemies.
