Missile stocks for Ukraine have run out

The Ukrainian army has exhausted its stock of long-range missiles as the US and UK no longer supply them. This is reported by The New York Times. According to the publication, there are slight hopes of receiving new supplies under Trump's leadership.

NATO representatives state that Western long-range weapons have not significantly changed the course of the war, even though they have proven to be quite effective.

NATO Admiral Rob Bauer stated that ATACMS missiles have inflicted significant damage on Russian defense enterprises and ammunition depots, forcing the enemy to retreat.

The United States has transferred about 500 ATACMS missiles from its arsenal to Ukraine. Initially, they were used for attacks on occupied territories, but later they were allowed to be used against Russia, particularly in the Kursk region. Ukraine has only 50 missiles left.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense and military bloggers, Ukraine has carried out at least six missile strikes using 31 ATACMS missiles and 14 Storm Shadows.

Ukraine and the US do not comment on the use of this weapon, but do not deny the reported data.

Mykola Beleskov, a military analyst at the National Institute for Strategic Studies of Ukraine, explains that the decrease in the number of strikes is related to the need for rational use of limited resources. He also claims that the Ukrainian command is waiting for the most advantageous opportunities for strikes.

It should be noted that Biden intends to deliver the final blow to Putin.
