The Ukrainian Armed Forces will retreat if the US does not provide the necessary military assistance, - Zelensky
Zelensky said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to find some way not to retreat
If the front remains stable, Zelensky said, Ukraine could arm and train new brigades to launch a new counteroffensive.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Ukrainian forces in dire straits may have to retreat to secure their front lines and conserve ammunition. This will happen if the United States does not provide the necessary military assistance to Ukraine.
In an interview with The Washington Post, he noted that Congress' delay in approving a $60 billion military aid package had cost Ukraine dearly. The military failed to plan for future operations, and lawmakers squabbled for nearly six months.
"If there is no US support, it means we have no air defense, no Patriot missiles, no electronic warfare jamming, no 155mm artillery rounds. This means we will retreat step by step," he said .

is producing 78 additional CAESAR howitzers this year, which will all be sent to Ukraine, paid for by Ukraine, France and Denmark. All will be delivered in 2024.
is producing 36 Panzerhaubitze 2000s and 36 RCH-155 for Ukraine. Only some units will be delivered in 2024, with the majority of units being delivered in 2025.
and Norway 
have ordered 16 additional Zuzana 2 howitzers for Ukraine, with orders to be from Slovakia 
in 2024 and 2025.
has ordered 9 DITA howitzers for Ukraine but they're not due to be delivered until 2025.
claims to be building 6 2S22 Bohdana howitzers each month, but I'm skeptical of the claim that they're capable of bringing 72 units online each year. If the actual number is half that (36), I would think that's more in line with reality.
Australian 
and Canadian 
donated M777s have suffered about 50% attrition over the last 2 years. A donation of an extra 100 would fully restock Ukrainian inventories.
, Britain 
, Greece 
and Belgium still have access to a number of M109's that could be sent to Ukraine.
has ordered huge quantities of K9 Thunder units from South Korea 
. They've also ordered further domestically produced Krab units, however, they've also produced 72 Krab units for Ukraine. It would be smart for them to reserve at least 50% of their Krab production for Ukraine for the foreseeable future. Selling to / donating to the Ukrainians 36'ish units pet year would help offset the attrition these workhorse units have faced.

power plant. Am no expert in nuclear power plant, but is it safe to bomb those as well?
