Russia lives off those stockpiles, because they do not produce much itself. It uses the material of the Soviet union, and not of Russia so to say. Russian military production have lived off borrowed time. They got bailed out earlier this year from a delievery of 3 million artillery shells from North Korea and Iran. But once that ammo runs out will russia soon feel a shell hunger as russia itself do not produce much for itself each month. And Iran and North Korea do not have endless amounts of ammunition to give with their 3rd world economies. Russian reserves of foreign currencies are running out, and once that happens will inflation rise by a lot. Its already quite high despite painfully high interest rates. The west do have the production capactity to outproduce russia, but it will need a year or two before Europe is finished with its expansion of capacity of artillery shells production. And the west have only sent a fraction of its artillery pieces and armored vehicles to Ukraine - and yet have that been enough to smash 14.000 armored fighting vehicles, 7000 tanks and over 10.000 artillery pieces. So the return on investment for a few (mostly old) western vehicles have been excellent. Now do Ukriane have its short term artillery supply secured. It now have long range weapons. Soon it will have fighter jets. And most likely will the EU and USA get more pro-Ukrainian after the elections have been done with. Regardless will the election in the EU not matter, as the parliament is weak and unimportant and the real power sits in the Commission and the council of ministers. And any attempts of blocking aid from Hungary could be countered by threats of cutting aid to Hungary, or individual member countries can send aid to Ukraine on their own instead of rolling it through the EU first. And Trump lost an election in the past against Biden. Which shows that Trump obviously is not as invincible and unstoppable as he claims. He also lost the popular vote against Hillary Clinton. And now with his russophile stance he have also managed to piss off large parts of the Republican base. Add to that the fact that America have a long tradition of prefering to keeping the sitting president in office. And excemptions from this tradition is very rare - like president Ford, Carter and Trump. After the elections will the transatlantic link probably be merged togheter stronger than ever before. EU alone have the economic resources to beat russia many times over. And America got so much surplus weapons that only a fraction of it would be enough to guarantee victory in Ukraine. They have thousands of Bradleys and Abrams sitting in a desert unused. If only say 1000 Abrams tanks and 1000 Bradleys was sent to Ukraine, then it would tip the scale enormously in Ukraines favor. But I do not even think such a shipment would be necessary. Superior long range artillery and mass production of artillery shells would be enough.
