"Financial Liabilities Expired": The Armed Forces may face a sharp shortage of weapons -

According to the German Chancellor, from the beginning of the war, the German government has allocated, purchased and supplied to Ukraine military equipment, including tanks, artillery and expensive air defense systems, worth more than $ 30 billion. Despite the support of Western partners, there may be a significant shortage of weapons and shells in Ukraine. This was stated by German Chancellor Olaf Soltz, reports The Wall Street Journal.

"The European Union and its Member States are the largest financial sponsor of Ukraine, which has provided more than $ 91 billion since the beginning of the war, followed by the United States and Germany.

According to the Chancellor, from the very beginning of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, the German government has allocated, purchased and delivered military equipment to Ukraine for a total amount of more than $ 30 billion, including tanks, artillery and modern air defense systems.

He also noted that in addition to military support, Germany provides significant assistance to Ukraine in the form of receiving more than a million Ukrainian refugees and participating in joint efforts with the European Union. "Our message is clear: we must do our best to prevent the victory of Russia. If we do not, we can soon wake up in a world that will be even more unstable, threatening and unpredictable than during the Cold War," he said Scholtz.

According to him, some financial obligations have already been fulfilled, while others need to continue. "Despite our support, Ukraine may soon encounter a serious shortage of weapons and ammunition. Some financial obligations are already exhausted and others need to continue. The long-term consequences and costs associated with the inability to stop Putin's aggression will exceed any investment, What we do now, "he emphasized.
