The US National Security Advisor said that Ukraine has problems with mobilization. According to him, no weapon system is decisive without sufficient manpower.

Ukraine has already received a large number of different American weapons, but still finds itself in a difficult situation on the battlefield. The reason for this is problems with mobilization. This was stated by US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan to PBS News, UNN reports.

"We provided tanks. We provided F-16s. We provided HIMARS. We have provided Patriot systems. We have provided many things that you had previously said we would not provide. Today, Ukraine is in a difficult situation on the battlefield, which shows that there is no direct line between these weapons systems and how it happens on the battlefield. Where is the most direct line between Ukrainian performance and input resources? It's about mobilization and manpower," Sullivan said when asked if the U.S. could have done anything differently in supporting Ukraine – given that Ukraine is now losing more territory than ever before this year.

He emphasized that the United States did not see a significant difference on the battlefield after it gave Ukraine tanks and F-16s.

"In our opinion, there is no single weapon system that matters in this battle. It's about manpower, and Ukraine, in our view, needs to do more to strengthen its lines in terms of the number of forces it has on the front lines. It's about ammunition and all the other things that affect a country's national strength, its morale, its cohesion, its industrial base," Sullivan added.
