The majority of allied aid to Ukraine won’t arrive until summer at best and year’s end at worst, The New York Times (NYT) reported, citing analysts.
Following US President Joe Biden’s signing of $61 billion in aid to Ukraine on April 24, Ukraine’s already gotten two shipments of supplies, including sorely needed 155mm artillery shells – on Sunday and Monday, April 28 and 29, the NYT reported.

Kyiv Post has not been able to find significant evidence that these supplies have gotten to the area around Avdiivka – the city that had been a Ukrainian stronghold since 2014, but which was finally lost in February when Ukrainian troops lacked the ammunition to defend it against superior Russian firepower.
Now, as Ukraine waits for aid, Russia has been pushing its advantage, gaining more ground in the east.
On Tuesday, a new batch of desperately needed Patriot interceptor missiles from Spain arrived in Poland. A senior Spanish official stated that “they will be at the Ukrainian front soon.”
Kyiv officials said that Ukraine had virtually run out of the Patriots – the only effective defense against certain kinds of Russian missiles.

Hopefully this is not true. If so that is entirely unacceptable. The EU's additional $50 billion in aid was approved in February.....its does not take 2 months to ship any weapon system to Ukraine from the EU.
The USA approved its aid in April 24th. The President said it was ready to be shipped. Assumably some would already be on Ukraines borders.
So whats the issue here?
Perhaps such claims of months of delays are meant to lure the orc forces into more vulnerable positions?
I cannot understand why the Ukrainian front line has not been resupplied with artillery shells. Surely these were the first US aid to be delivered in the first truckload from Poland over a week ago. Can someone tell me why the UAF do not still have these at the various hot spots of the front?
When will Zelensky raise his voice and demand that the West stop making fun of Ukraine?
