US Defence Minister says that US will continue to supply Ukraine

During a press conference on Wednesday, when US Defence Secretary was asked if US and or western nations are worried that y are running low on domestic stockpile of high-end munitions and if that will impact ir ability to provide Ukraine with weapons it is demanding, Austin replied, "Well, it certainly is t lack of will." 

"We will produce and deliver se highly effective capabilities over course of coming months — and in some cases years — even as we continue to meet Ukraine’s most pressing self-defence requirements in real-time," he said. Defence Minister of western nations recently held a meeting to discuss how to provide Ukraine with munitions it needs to defend itself.

"It confirmed what I believe, that we will continue to support Ukraine, but we’re going to have to do it in different ways, like providing substitutes, or we might have to buy stuff from or people, or it will take longer," he ded. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been urging western nations to provide Ukraine with more high-end munitions.
