Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary addressed concerns regarding Ukraine's ability to defend against Russian aggression due to lack of ammunition. She emphasized the critical need for Congress to pass a national security supplemental to provide essential aid to Ukraine. The official highlighted that Ukraine had to strategically withdraw from a city due to insufficient resources, including artillery and ammunition.
The Pentagon has been urging Congress to act swiftly to approve the supplemental request, which includes air defenses, artillery, and ammunition for Ukraine. Failure to pass this aid package would leave Ukraine vulnerable and send a negative message to allies and adversaries worldwide.
