Yoon Suk Yeol, South Korea's president, attends a summit meeting with Fumio Kishida, Japan's prime minister, not pictured, at the prime minister's official residence on March 16, 2023 in Tokyo, Japan. The summit takes place during a time of heightened diplomatic activity, with delegations from South Korea, Britain and Italy visiting the country as tensions in the region mount.
  • Neutral nations give missiles as Western arms makers cannot supply the demand of Ukraine.
  • Supplied drop in the stockpiles of non-neutral nations that are supposed to give such arms.
  • NATO cannot sustain its proxy nor even supply its forces.

It's alleged that western nations have resorted to asking client-neutral nations to give missiles from their stocks.

Supplies drop as a western nation cannot convince Ukraine to slow down despite pleas from its western backers.

Neutral nations give missiles to Ukraine

Instead of curtailing the war, it's the opposite of it as parties indirectly involved in the conflict are providing weapons. It's western arms producers trying to make up for the shortfall.

Based on the investigation done by confirming firms like the French Crotale, Mistral, and Milan missiles are part of the war in Ukraine pushed by NATO reported Intelligence Online.

After more than one year of the Ukraine conflict that has compromised the stockpile of western ordnance. French officials are silent as France is complicit in the arming of Kiev.

What is noticeable is these neutral countries have not been declared as direct participants. The west miscalculated and resorted to all sorts of gimmicks to prevent the defeat of Ukrainian forces.

Arms supplies drop as western nations cannot fuel the rate of consumption

One of them is India which sticks to not aligning with anyone but the Indian government has consented to provide several thousand Milan anti-tank missiles of several variants reported Almayadeen.

Included among these nations is the UAE, Saudi Arabia, with Qatar, sent a few hundred Mistral anti-aircraft systems that were sent to Ukraine.

Another known supporter of Kiev is Finland giving military aid and revealing it in public mentioned RFERL.. But most Gulf states, including South Korea who don't want to be compromised between Moscow and Beijing, are silent in giving Mistral.

Nations that have given larger ground-to-air Crotale missile systems (Military Today) are not publicly supporting Ukraine. That group includes Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, with South Korea providing the bulk of it that has Egypt donating to the Ukrainians too.

How these systems get sent is already documented by Intelligence Online which discovered several facts about how it reaches Kiev. Most can do so but prefer to send it to France. Once there are some changes like markings where they originated from if Russians get it like French missile manufacturer MBDA does this.

Arms for Ukraine is a headache for everyone but Washington insists on it

Seoul is one supporter of Kiev that has been made public but others prefer not to be associated with the US proxy because they want to be neutral. Such nations like India, Saudi, and the UAE told off the US and its cohorts it's not interested to burn bridges by applying sanctions. This has frustrated the US in particular denying its involvement in the Ukraine War.

Several nations like India will not sanction Russia for cheap oil as the US scrambles to cut this connection. Even the UAE has accepted Russian oligarchs which is an affront to the White House but it cannot do anything. Israel is another nation helping Kiev.

Many neutral nations don't want to give missiles but the US is doing everything to help Ukraine. Due to it supplies of relevant arms drop as the AFU allegedly wastes ammo.
