Ukraine has also been using hand-held anti-tank missiles supplied by the US to fight the Russians.</p>
<p>
Although Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has criticised NATO for not imposing a no-fly zone on Ukraine against the Russians but is heavily dependent on the Western countries for arms and ammunition to keep the fighting going against the Russian military operation.</p>
<p>
Russia has been facing greater than expected resistance from Ukraine's forces because of the weapons supplied by the Western nations.</p>
