Sending offensive weapons can prevent more Ukrainians from being killed or injured, ambulances, field hospitals, bandages, and good will can't.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Not nearly enough, and Ireland has alot of anti-tank weapons which would be very useful. When the Germans told the Ukrainians that the Strela manpads were obsolete, the ukrainians said send them anyway. Zelenskyy said that they use in 20 hours, what the allies are supplying in a week.

"Our people take trophies, we capture Russian equipment day and night. We take everything on the battlefield and send it back into battle. They even made the old Soviet equipment combat-ready, which did not work for us, and everything that we receive from you. But the volume that you give… for one week we use in 20 hours."

Your excuses are as thin as tissue.

Ireland has 1,800 AT-4 ant tank munitions. The Ukrainians would think it's christmas if Ireland sent most of those.

Coming up to 18 Billion Euro's sent to Russia since the 24th February

Interesting stats but it is a site with a vested interest and that's not how much money Russia is getting. I don't think EU countries are quite ready to test their population's resolve by just cutting off Russian supplies without alternatives, especially as we are already looking at close to double figures in inflation.

For any aviation nerds on this forum:

I've noticed a massive increase in light aircraft movements across Poland over the last week or so. Their pilot training has gone into overdrive with the Airforce Academy and private academy flying single and multi-engine variants every day from dawn till dusk. Many of the aircraft are of the two-seat, very light aircraft type ( for example, the C-42, which is, by coincidence, the type I'm trained on). But the really interesting thing is the amount of flights that fly right up to the Polish-Ukranian border, just beyond and around the Lubaczow region. Now, I'm not suggesting that there is anything fishy going on, but it might be a good exercise for any OSINT folks to track the daily movements of some of these very light, STOL aircraft. It would be interesting to compare their takeoff weight to their landing weight on any given flight that ended up meandering around the border regions.

Or maybe my imagination is running out of gear....lol

There was a Ukrainian MP on 6.1 yesterday, also confident that they will win, in time. Part of that confidence seems to come from her OH in the field, describing Russian troops as useless. She also asked for a no-fly zone to speed it up. At this stage such confidence is not completely misplaced.

All a bit pointless as they can be resupplied very easily from the West but it can be spun as a part of the success in demilitarising Ukraine. Meanwhile the Russians run down their missile inventory.
