Nato members concede that Western militaries risk running out of the ammunition Kyiv needs, but also protect themselves going forward
Far from the battlefield of Ukraine, a new conflict is taking shape that could determine the future of the war – one between Western governments and the global arms industry.
Nato member states gathered in Brussels have conceded that Western militaries are in danger of running out of the ammunition Kyiv needs to win the war, but also protect themselves going forward.
Ukraine’s armed forces are burning through artillery shells at a rate of 6,000 a day – more than a smaller European country’s orders in an entire year in peacetime.

It managed to get back to base but is very unlikely to fly again any time soon. pic.twitter.com/1MtLtNALF2
