Did Ukraine ever receive the Javelin missiles...?

To protect themselves from Russian tanks?

Or did the White House refuse to release the Javelins, because it might piss off Putin?

If they did not receive the Javelins, how safe is Ukraine from a Russian attack?

Is it fair to say that the assistance for Ukraine was never actually released?

What is the truth about this matter?

Didn't they have to settle with Russia because they could no longer defend the ground.
