Expert on Moldova 1 TV: U.S. arms deliveries vital for Ukraine and align with White House interests
The United States' decision to resume arms deliveries to Ukraine is crucial for maintaining a balance of power in a conflict with global consequences. According to critical infrastructure expert Alexandru Georgescu, Ukraine relies not only on the weapons provided but also on the steadfastness of its allies.
Georgescu highlighted on the show In Context on Moldova 1 TV that any peace proposal endorsed by the U.S. gains credibility only when there is a balance of power, making arms deliveries essential.
“Regardless of Trump’s volatility and rhetoric, it is in the U.S. interest to support Ukraine in the context of the peace negotiations he wishes to mediate. Otherwise, his peace plan, whatever it entails, cannot succeed if Russia wins on the battlefield,” the expert stated on Moldova 1 TV.
A significant challenge in maintaining military support is the logistical and industrial capacity of Western partners.
“During this war, including the Czechs, at one point they began purchasing ammunition from the global market to supply to the Ukrainians. This was particularly for Ukrainian artillery. The demand and consumption have outstripped production capacity,” Georgescu explained.
He pointed out the risks associated with production and the vulnerability of the global industrial infrastructure to natural disasters. Additionally, he noted the complex interdependence of the defense industry, which can create domino effects in the supply of weapons: “Many components are sourced from the U.S., and many components for American systems come from Europe.”
According to Alexandru Georgescu, the reconstruction of Ukraine will require not only peace but also substantial capital, revealing an imbalance between economic interests and financial realities.
“It is not just the strength of support that matters; we must fundamentally question whether there is enough capital available for Ukraine's reconstruction. Many want to benefit from the reconstruction funds, but there are fewer entities willing to provide the necessary funds,” the expert said on Moldova 1.
We recall that recently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had a discussion with U.S. President Donald Trump covering topics related to defense industry cooperation, joint production—particularly in the drone sector—as well as mutual investments and purchasing agreements. Later, Donald Trump announced that the U.S. would send new weapons to Ukraine, although the White House stated the week prior that it would suspend some arms deliveries.
