The battle over Donbas will be like World War II,

said Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. The fight for Donbas most likely will be similar to World War II, with major operations and maneuvers involving thousands of tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, and artillery. “It will not be a local operation. Given what we see, Russia has its plan, we have our own, and the outcome of this battle will be decided on the battlefield,” said Kuleba after meeting NATO foreign ministers in Brussels. He stressed that it is now crucial that their NATO allies do not tell Ukraine that they are still thinking and must follow all the procedures, and that many problems must be resolved before they can decide. But, he added, “Either you help us now, and I’m talking about days, not weeks, or your help will come too late, causing thousands of deaths.”
