What stopped them from training and arming new soldiers for the last 3 years?

There weren't any real problems with training and arming soldiers after first two-three months and there were and still are huge problems with vehicles and armor, and aircraft.

Which were promised in huge quantities but materialised in much-much smaller numbers. All the while politicians said how they will give Ukraine 10, 20, 40 billions of usd (meaning that they will buy whatever great white masters deemed necessary from oldest hardware available at premium prices and with military markup). It's so fucking disheartening.
