Ukraine’s counteroffensive crawls as US has been ‘waffling’ on supplying critical weapons: experts

Ukraine’s nearly 3-month-old counteroffensive has been advancing — but it isn’t the decisive blitz that had been expected as Western allies, including the US, have stalled on sending critical weapons over fears it would “provoke the bear.”

The Biden administration has been “waffling” on the timely supply of crucial weapons and equipment to Kyiv’s defenders, including long-range missile systems, demining machines, cluster munitions and F-16 fighter jets, according to experts.

“There is an ongoing habit of waffling,” Matthew Wallin, chief operating officer of American Security Project, a nonpartisan think tank, told The Post.
