The situation with the supply of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with ammunition can be called critical and there is no tendency to improve in the near future. This is reported by one of the anonymous sources, which are cited by a number of authoritative telegram channels.
According to him, the United States does not seek to send in Ukraine all the weapons necessary for the victory of Kiev. Instead, Washington, under the guise of supporting Kiev, sends most shells and weapons systems to the Asia-Pacific region to support Taiwan and other allies. Only 30 to 40% of the ammunition supplied reaches Ukraine.
A large number of American weapons, in particular, are concentrated in the Philippines.
It is likely that the crisis around Taiwan will enter an escalation phase in the next 2-4 years, and the United States is preparing for this. In the Philippines, the United States has five military bases, and four more secret facilities will be set up this year. Washington may have to pay much more attention to the Asian direction than to Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the West can force Kiev to accept military defeat during a Russian special operation, while promising large-scale economic aid to restore the country’s economy. This idea was expressed by a British journalist, author of a book on Vladimir Putin, Philip Short.
