Rob Bauer of the Netherlands, the chair of the NATO Military Committee and NATO’s most senior military official, said of the West’s ammunition stockpile Tuesday during a discussion at the Warsaw Security Forum.
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty/Serhii Nuzhnenko/Reuters“We give away weapons systems to Ukraine, which is great, and ammunition, but not from full warehouses.
“We have to keep Ukraine in the fight tonight and tomorrow and the day after and the day after,” Heappey said.
That means, “continuing to give, day in day out, and rebuilding our own stockpiles,” he added.
US military aid to Ukraine has amounted to a staggering $46.6 billion from the war’s start through July 31, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.
