Background:<\/h3>
Western governments have so far been reluctant to send armoured military equipment to the Ukrainian army. Thus, its offensive capabilities needed to dislodge the Russian occupiers from Ukrainian territory have so far been able to rely only on the supply of Soviet-type armoured vehicles from NATO Eastern Wing countries. However, after almost 8 months of war, a large part of the supply of this type of equipment is exhausted or cannot be spare by these countries because they have nothing to replace it with to keep their armies combat capable.
