Ukrainian soldiers are facing a critical shortage of ammunition as U.S. financial support for the war has lapsed, Pentagon spokesman General Ryder reported. The lack of U.S. funds has halted the ability to transfer new weapons and ammunition to Ukraine and service weapons previously provided. Ukraine's Foreign Minister emphasized the insufficiency of ammunition and air-defense missiles being supplied by Western allies, including delayed deliveries of Patriot missile systems. The situation has prompted U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to urge allies to increase their support, as the U.S. can no longer supply Kyiv with missiles and ammunition at the same level as before. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has echoed this sentiment, calling for increased defense support from European Union countries and committing to increase Germany's annual military aid to €8 billion. The recent Ramstein meeting highlighted these challenges, with the U.S. unable to commit additional funds, underscoring the urgency for global partners to strengthen Ukrainian air defenses.
