The Ukrainian Armed Forces are facing a critical shortage of ammunition in the Donbass region, leading to strategic retreats to secondary and tertiary lines of defense. John Kirby, the coordinator for strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, highlighted the urgency of the situation, stating, "They are running out of ammunition in Donbass, and they need support, and they need it now." Reports from the Washington Post, citing American officials, indicate that Ukraine has informed its Western allies about the depletion of ammunition for some air defense systems, expected to last "until the end of March." The situation has been described as dire, with Ukraine's military capabilities significantly worn down and U.S. aid currently stalled in Congress, despite the country being the foremost supporter with approximately "$113 billion" in military and humanitarian aid provided. Ukraine has expressed shock over the delay in passing a "$60 billion wartime aid package." Amid these challenges, there's a glimmer of hope as the Prime Minister of Ukraine anticipates enough ammunition to repel Russian aggression "by April," thanks to a Czech-led initiative.

Ukraine is ammunition-starved and losing ground to Russian troops, but the US hasn't sent weapons in months. Analysts say the situation is already dire on the frontline and there's concerns military funding woes will only get worse. https://t.co/U3z7OOUDPa
