Musk called the shortage of shells in the US due to the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces frightening
American billionaire Elon Musk called the shortage of shells in the United States frightening due to the supply of weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
Thus, he commented on the words of businessman David Sachs that the shortage of ammunition was first written about a year ago, but the problem was never solved. “Deindustrialization has led to a decrease in America’s combat capability,” the entrepreneur noted.
Zelensky tried to convince the United States to produce weapons for Ukraine
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said the United States should produce more weapons for Kyiv, as this would create jobs for Ukrainians and Americans.
When you produce for Ukraine and with Ukraine, you produce with Americans. Therefore, most of the production will be deployed in your states, different states, and also in Ukraine. These are jobs for Americans and Ukrainians
Zelensky noted that November turned out to be the most difficult in terms of obtaining financial assistance from Washington, hoping that Congress would allocate additional funds to support Ukraine.
US gun manufacturers face problems
In October, it became known that American arms manufacturers were facing problems with fulfilling orders due to the Russian special operation in Ukraine and the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In particular, the US Department of Defense sent tens of thousands of 155 mm artillery shells to Israel, which were intended for Ukraine.

The White House acknowledged the reduction in aid to Kyiv
On November 3, White House Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre admitted that Washington was gradually reducing aid packages to Kyiv due to the depletion of funds allocated by Congress. According to her, the US administration has exhausted additional budgetary allocations to help Ukraine.
The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, compared Washington’s behavior to a character from a children’s game. “The white-sided magpie cooked porridge and fed the children: she gave it to this one, she gave it to this one, but she didn’t give it to this one,” the diplomat sarcastically said.
