North American Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary Jens Stoltenberg warned Monday that Ukraine’s consumption of ammunition is outpacing the rate at which the U.S. and allies can produce enough to continue supporting Ukraine’s resistance to Russian forces.
Russia is deploying thousands of additional troops in Ukraine in support of a new offensive that NATO countries expected to see as spring arrives, Stoltenberg said Monday, according to a transcript. Russia’s attacks could further strain Western defense industries, placing NATO and Russia in a “race of logistics” to rearm Ukraine before the Russians can achieve significant advances, Stoltenberg added.
“The war in Ukraine is consuming an enormous amount of munitions, and depleting Allied stockpiles,” Stoltenberg said, announcing that NATO had completed a thorough review of its weapons inventories.
