Europe and the United States are in a difficult situation due to the depletion of weapons stocks, which creates a threat from their own security, reports The Washington Post (WP), citing unnamed NATO officials.
Most of the weapons that NATO countries could provide have already been transferred to Ukraine, and now the European Union has to “dig deeper” in its reserves, writes WP. It will take a long time for Western countries to solve problems with a shortage of weapons, which is fraught with great risks for their own security.
One of the NATO officials told the publication that at the same time, “Russian factories for the production of artillery shells are working in several shifts.”
Earlier, the Associated Press published a statement by the European Commissioner for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, who acknowledged a significant “depletion” of weapons in the countries of the European Union against the backdrop of military assistance to Ukraine.
