In the early phases of the war, there were fears of provoking Russia, and politicians downplayed the scale of the Ukrainian resistance.

“For Ukraine, which is struggling to defend against overwhelming enemy forces, numbers still matter. (The attacked country) still believes that it is not getting enough weapons. At the start of the war, Ukraine asked for fighters. So far, not a single one has been sent,” Beale added.
