Ukraine hopes to build troop strength and establish at least 10 brigades, many of them mechanized by early 2025.
I would note that 10 brigades is probably enough to keep chewing up Russian offensives, but it's at least 4-8 brigades short of what Ukraine would need to recapture and hold lost territory.
@Lulz4l1f3 Ukraine's biggest mistake was giving up their nuclear missiles with the promise that the US and its allies would protect them from Russia.
@h8cloz They gave those up with the promise the US and Russia would protect them.

The US has been a pretty good partner. There have been hiccups since Republicans took the house and delayed funding for 8 months, and no doubt they will do so again...
But... we are providing millions of artillery shells, thousands of missiles, hundreds of armored units, and a crapload of small arms.
I don't doubt our current commitment in the Senate and Biden admin.
I do worry about their troop strength, however.
