Ukraine is grappling with a critical shortage of ammunition and military equipment as the US and its allies struggle to resupply the country's military, leading to dire consequences on the battlefield. NATO officials have raised concerns about the dwindling air defenses in Kyiv, which Russia is intensifying its attacks on, knowing that replenishment is unlikely in the near future.
The Ukrainian military is facing shortages in air defense munitions, particularly in the medium to long range, according to a NATO official. The country has been rationing its air defenses for about a month, with limited systems including Patriot systems, S-200 and S-300 surface-to-air missile systems, and older Soviet launchers retrofitted to fire western missiles.
