Two-thirds of the countries of the Alliance, which belong to the “small countries”, have largely exhausted their stocks of weapons and can no longer send to Ukraine.
Small NATO member states have exhausted their potential to supply arms to Ukraine. On Saturday, November 26, The New York Times reported, citing its own sources.
It noted that 20 of the alliance’s 30 states had “significantly depleted themselves.”
At the same time, the remaining 10 can still provide more weapons. Among them are France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.
According to the NYT, NATO countries have transferred arms to Ukraine totaling $40 billion, which matches France’s annual defense budget. The publication notes that Paris provided Kyiv with 18 Caesar howitzers – about 20% of its own artillery. In addition, Germany has previously said that it has almost exhausted the possibilities for helping Ukraine. Italy is not planning new deliveries, Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said in early November.
Recall that since the beginning of the war, Germany transferred to Ukraine 30 Gepard anti-aircraft guns, which are an effective weapon against Iranian kamikaze drones.
Thousands of shots: a day of war in Ukraine is equivalent to a month in Afghanistan
