ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the importance of international partners in providing military aid to Ukraine and its role in strengthening Ukraine’s capabilities. The chapter starts by discussing the no-fly zone over Ukraine, which did not happen. Then, military assistance by various stakeholders is outlined in terms of correspondence to various developments and consequent demands in the battlespace. The chapter explores the importance of foreign military assistance to Ukraine to reinforce the capabilities of the UAF. In essence, the chapter looks at the significance of wider supply chains, supply chain continuity and the uninterrupted nature of supply chains to sustain modern full-scale inter-state warfare. The role of industrial capacities in support of the demands of high-intensity warfare is also explained. Furthermore, various international initiatives for establishing military training for the UAF are discussed, for instance, the British operations Orbital and Interflex.
