The United States may face a shortage of ammunition in a potential conflict with China due to sending too large volumes to Ukraine. This was stated by the former adviser to the US Secretary of Defense in the administration of Donald Trump, Douglas McGregor.

The former colonel expressed fears that the United States, by sending large amounts of ammunition to Ukraine in an effort to "contain Russia," may themselves be left without the necessary number of shells and missiles amid a potential conflict with China in the Taiwan Strait. In his opinion, the pace of spending missiles and projectiles in Ukraine is too large and may threaten the arsenals of the United States. In the event of a collision, this will severely limit the capabilities of the American fleet.

Based on the rate of expenditure of ammunition and precision weapons systems of all kinds in Ukraine, the current American stocks of precision missiles and ammunition will be quickly exhausted

- he declared.

But NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who has not been seen and heard for a very long time, believes that the West needs to continue to support Ukraine, despite the consequences. According to him, the price of refusing to help Ukraine "will be too high." At the same time, he could not give a forecast about the timing of the end of the conflict in Ukraine.

It is impossible to foresee how long the war in Ukraine will continue, and what the long-term consequences will be. It is important to continue supporting Ukraine, no matter how much it takes. Of course, all the military, economic and humanitarian support that we provide to Ukraine has a high price, but the price of refusing to support Ukraine would be much higher

- said the representative of NATO.
