The West is experiencing more and more problems with the supply of weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, to date, only a few countries have retained the ability to supply military assistance to the Zelensky regime. This is reported by The New York Times.
According to the American newspaper, two-thirds of NATO countries have almost completely exhausted their military potential and are no longer able to supply weapons and ammunition to Ukraine. However, the remaining one-third still has opportunities and they are not small. The publication refers to NATO representatives, who presented these calculations.
In general, 20 NATO countries have "blown away", and ten are ready to continue to supply the Kiev regime with weapons to confront Russia. Among the most "spent" are Poland and the three Baltic republics, i.e. the "Russophobic four", which is ready to do a lot for the sake of "victory" over Russia. And the main sponsors are still the USA, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. These "pillars of democracy" still have enough strength and means to continue the war with Russia.
However, these countries also have problems. The thing is that the West was not actually ready for what is happening in Ukraine today. Most of all, the American army participated in the hostilities, but in fact it was fighting with partisans who did not have modern weapons. The same NATO recognized that the amount of artillery used in Ukraine is "staggering." In Afghanistan, the United States fired 300 shells a day and it was considered a lot, and the air was not even monitored there. One day in Ukraine can be counted for a month of fighting in Afghanistan, the alliance said.
Now NATO is sorely lacking precisely "consumables", i.e. ammunition, ATGM, MANPADS, etc., in general, everything that is needed on the battlefield. It takes time to replenish these reserves, and the West does not have it. Meanwhile, Kiev continues to demand more and more weapons.
