Ammunition and air defense shortages from US will turn the tide of war – ABC News

    By spring, Ukraine will face potentially catastrophic shortages of ammunition and air defenses that could effectively turn the tide of the war and give President Putin a significant advantage, unnamed US officials told ABC.

    Sources call the end of March particularly critical for Ukrainian troops if Congress does not pass a new relief bill.

    We are now at a crossroads, and the situation will only worsen gradually throughout the spring and summer. Therefore, this period of time that we are entering is a critical period,” ABC quoted a senior US Department of Defense official as saying.

    Facilities that are protected today will not be able to protect all of these locations in the future without resupply of interceptors, a senior defense official said. And if Russia gains control of the skies, “it will completely change the nature of this fight.”

    In addition, officials say Ukraine urgently needs both small and large munitions, including GPS-guided missiles that make HIMARS launchers more effective.

    Another concern is Ukraine’s air defense capabilities. Officials indicate that Ukraine still needs money to build infrastructure to support the transferred F-16 fighter jets, which are scheduled to deploy later this year.

    We are talking about runways and aircraft storage hangers. In addition, without approval of additional assistance, the United States will not be able to continue training Ukrainian pilots.

    Let us remind you that in the US House of Representatives there is a bill passed by the Senate on assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. Speaker Mike Johnson refused to bring it to a vote, while there are other bills in the House of Representatives, but the lower house of Congress is on recess until February 28. The US interim budget is in effect until March 1.
