Delays in promised Western military aid to Ukraine are costing lives

KYIV, Ukraine: Half of all Western military support promised to Ukraine fails to arrive on time, complicating the task of military planners and ultimately costing the lives of soldiers in Russia's war, Ukraine's defense minister said Sunday.

Rustan Umerov, speaking at the 'Ukraine. Year 2024' forum in Kyiv, said each delayed aid shipment means Ukrainian troop losses and underscored Russia's superior military might.
