Ukraine has enough weapons to continue to fight at the current rate until the summer, even without the help of the United States.
However, in the summer of 2025, the Ukrainian defense forces may not have ammunition and inability to use some of their most modern weapons. The most dangerous can be a missile deficiency for patriotic anti -cancer missile systems. This was reported by Thewall Street Journal, which analyzed the threat of termination of US military assistance to Ukraine by the Donald Trump administration.
According to the former senior Pentagon Wallander, the reserves of the weapons that were transferred by the Joe Biden administration to Kyiv should allow the armed forces to fight until the middle of this year. And some Ukrainian officials believe that Ukraine can stretch weapons even for a longer period.
One of the high -ranking officials of Zelensky’s office called US military assistance in the worst scenario, because in this case, Ukraine will have to increase its military production and get more assistance from Europe.
It is noted that Ukraine currently produces or finances about 55% of its military equipment on its own. According to one Western official, the United States supply about 20%, and Europe – 25%.
Nevertheless, it is impossible to replace the advanced air defense systems, ballistic missiles of the earth’s land, attacks, navigation and long artillery. Europe does not produce sufficient weapons, and does not produce some weapon at all.
As soon as these reserves in the United States are exhausted, Ukraine will suffer from the ability of Ukraine to strike and protect its own rear positions, the article says.
We recall that the media reported that the European Union is preparing a military assistance package in Ukraine by 6 billion euros to strengthen the strategic position of Kyiv at the beginning of negotiations with Russia under the leadership of the United States.
