Ukrainian cities are becoming increasingly vulnerable to extensive Russian missile and drone attacks as Kyiv's army might deplete its air defense ammunition by the end of March, according to "The Washington Post".
This concerning situation was shared by Ukrainian officials with their European and American counterparts at a security conference last month, as reported by the American newspaper.
Until now, Ukraine has had the capacity to intercept four out of every five missiles aiming for its cities. However, this rate might soon drop to merely intercepting one out of five, as informed by one of the officials. The potential decline in missile defense effectiveness poses a dire threat to the relative normalcy that many Ukrainian cities have started to experience again, thanks to the previously efficient missile defense systems.
Regrettably, an increase in missile supplies for Ukrainian air defenses is anticipated only after the US Congress sanctions military aid for Kyiv. This process has been stalled for weeks due to political stalemates in Washington. While the Senate has passed the necessary bill, it is currently held up in the House of Representatives by Republican opposition.

“When the actually work, which is sporadic.”
Kind of SUCKS to be a grunt there when they do work, lots of boom-boom. No more hot Slavic babes for them.
“The effectiveness of the escalation in war production is illustrated by the quantities of material manufactured: Britain alone produced nearly four million rifles, a quarter of a million machine guns, 52,000 aeroplanes, 25,000 artillery pieces and over 170 million rounds of artillery shells by the end of the war.”

“UKRAINE NEEDS MORE MONEY”
Ukraine could sell territory to Poland and Hungary for cash.
We’re not doing that in this war. Our stockpile is now depleted. So what’s next? We had two years to figure this out. The Russians were able to shift their economy to a war footing in 2022.
Ukraine could probably make most of the anti-missile missiles itself and just buy the electronics.
Hi, this is Secretary Austin of the DoD.
Your company has a machine that we use to produce artillery shells, a...
Are you using it 24/7?
No
Joe Biden and I would like your company to make shell casings in the slack times....
All America can do now is print funny money and abuse its own citizens.

We'll see. It might help the GOP. People will see that they were wise enough to stop wasting money on a hopeless cause that was none of our business anyway.
That might work, Uke Nazis might just reduce Ukraine to a large circle around Kiev for Money Laundering, GloboHomo Finance and Pedo Services, then the war ends and American Liberal Socialist Democrats and RINOs are happy.
Yes, they could hire some Gaza Palestinians to dig up water pipe and go into production almost immediately.
His footwork was weak!
I suppose that’s what a lot of folks thought about Afghanistan. But the withdrawal at the end still echoes.
I read a while back when Russia attacked Ukraine with massive air and missile barrages much was aimed at taking out Ukraine’s air defense including the advanced American equipment.
Polish wailing, to be precise.
MSN reprints from essa.news, a Polish website registered in August of 2023. So, a little less than seven months "young."
As it says: "essanews.com is a part of Wirtualna Polska media company." Gravels and Wigury 16, 02-092 Warsaw.
An amusing anomaly on the about page says: "Copyright ? Wirtualna Polska Holding SA" Copyright followed by a question mark. That's worth a chuckle in of itself. A darker observation is that WP is HQ's in Szczecin.
“I think if Ukraine falls before the election that will create additional headwinds for the GOP.”
Because you and six other Republicans will vote against them?
Look how the deep state and their fake news allies pull out the stops for the Ukraine money laundry train day after day. But when it comes to our own border security they’re paid to stuff their heads up their butts
Agree!
Thanks for that research, it fits that the current American MSM Narrative is echoed by the Polish Media Narrative, ...
coincidentally, of course.
Of course, of course and of course. No coordination between those voices voicing the voices of others.
Or, if there is, "shut up!"
There is reason so many of the European elite are voicing concern, not so much about Ukraine, but about their being threatened by a "growing populism" from their own voters.
But isn't it interesting that MSN reprints a Polish source which says "according to 'The Washington Post'?"
Aren't as many voices as there seem to be, in the same manner as a peacock fans his plume of feather to appear to be other than he is.
Just had a message from friends in Germany who are quite concerned about the notion that their military age kids might be used in a land war not of their choosing. Dang those populists, thinking other than their betters think.
At least fewer apartment buildings will be destroyed.
