Ukraine war: Kyiv forced to cut military operations as foreign aid dries up - BBC News



Ukraine has warned it is already being forced to downsize some military operations because of a drop-off in foreign aid.

Top general Oleksandr Tarnavskyi said troops faced ammunition shortages along the "entire front line", creating a "big problem" for Kyiv.

It comes as billions of dollars of US and EU aid have been held up amid political wrangles.

Ukraine said it hoped to boost its own ammunition industry with western help.

But it relies heavily on western supplies, particularly on deliveries of long-range missiles and air defence systems, to fight occupying Russian forces.

I believe funding from the USA will happen, EU just gave Ukraine 1.6 billion and will either work around Hungary or force it out Hungary. I don't how true but Japan at least 4 billion to Ukraine and other allies are still providing monetary wise. Still think Putin is losing and of course he talks shit.
