The Zelensky regime didn't have months to train [[AFU]] forces to use these weapons.  NATO casualties in Bakhmut began to stack up, and NATO could no longer hide it.  Poland was the first to reveal how many troops were lost, and the number of NATO deaths and casualties grew throughout the winter campaign.  NATO played into the Russian hands, helping Russia with it overall stated aims from the beginning - to demilitarize Ukraine, which was becoming expanded to the de-NATOization of [[Europe]].
