US aid to Ukraine "will help slow Russia's offensive, but not stop it". The Financial Times reports this with reference to a high-ranking Ukrainian official.

According to the source, the new American supplies are not a "silver bullet" to stop Russia's actions.

However, analysts point out that the American aid package will "buy some time to address the shortage of personnel" and more effectively protect Ukraine's critical infrastructure from missile attacks.

The Financial Times writes that despite this, Ukrainian officials and the military believe that "the delivery of American aid is unlikely to fundamentally change the situation."

A former Ukrainian officer told the publication: "Such a large aid package may be the last one this year. Moreover, there is a very high probability that all subsequent aid packages to Ukraine will be much smaller."

According to analysts, the current aid from the USA and Europe will enable the Ukrainian armed forces to conduct military operations for about another year.
