The Kremlin is nervous and alarmed after the US adopted Lend-lease legislation on April 28 that creates a simplified procedure to supply any types of weapons to Ukraine and other countries, including Poland, according to an opinion piece in the Center for European Policy Analysis. 

It noted that some pro-Kremlin Telegram channels agreed that the decision, coming on the same day as President Biden’s announcement of an additional $20bn military aid package to Ukraine, will now drag on the war, and other authors admitted that the new program “will deprive Russia of local technological and military superiority.”

Other authors, the article said, advised the Russian military to quickly “grind down the enemy’s manpower, and then deprive it of the physical ability to deliver foreign weapons to the left bank of the Dnieper River.”
