Large-scale conflicts between militarily sophisticated adversaries such as Russia and Ukraine tend to become decided by which side has the better arms industry. The combined resources of Ukraine's allies are so much greater than Russia's, but the conflict is slowly turning in favor of Russia due to its defense industry being able to fire five times more shells a day compared to Ukrainian forces during their summer counter-offensive. The West now faces a choice between giving Ukraine what it needs or ceding an irrecoverable advantage to Russia. America and the European Union are having trouble delivering aid, with American military assistance held up in Congress and EU financial support stymied by Hungary's pro-Russian leader Viktor Orban. The Ukrainians are worried that American hyper-partisanship and Donald Trump's hostility will steadily throttle support from the Pentagon, leaving them wholly dependent on Europe for military aid. However, the picture is patchy in terms of commitment among European countries, with France contributing only a small amount compared to Germany and the Nordic countries who are digging deep.
