Ukraine has been rationing its munitions as Congress has delayed passing its 60 billion dollar (£48 billion) supplemental Bill.
The top general for US forces in Europe has told Congress that Ukraine will be outgunned 10 to one by Russia within a matter of weeks if Congress does not find a way to approve sending more ammunition and weapons to Kyiv soon.
“They are now being outshot by the Russian side five to one. So the Russians fire five times as many artillery shells at the Ukrainians than the Ukrainians are able to fire back. That will immediately go to 10 to one in a matter of weeks,” Gen Cavoli said.Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has been trying to find a way forward for the Bill that would fund new rounds of munitions production at US firms to enable the Pentagon to then rush more munitions to Ukraine.
While the political battles on Capitol Hill continue, the dire battlefield situation in Ukraine worsens. “Their ability to defend their terrain that they currently hold and their airspace would fade rapidly, will fade rapidly without the supplemental,” Gen Cavoli said. “We saw Ukraine lose some territory a couple of months ago. And I think there is a real danger… that the Russians could have a breakthrough somewhere in the line.”
“We don’t have the transportation money to have them redeploy,” said Ms Wormuth, referring to army units that are deployed across Europe.She and Gen George said they also need the money to continue sending units to the national training centres.
