Badly needed shells sourced through a Czech-led initiative for Ukraine are due to arrive by the end of May or early June and Joe Biden is expected to signto Ukraine after its passage in the Senate, meaning the Pentagon is likely within a few days to deliver some supplies from storage sites in Europe, such as 155mm artillery rounds.
But other weapons and systems will take weeks and months. President Zelenskiy said new US weapons would help Kyiv to regain the initiative, in his latest. He said Ukraine needed more Patriot air defence systems to “protect the sky”, as well as modern artillery and a “long-range capability”. Zelenskiy hailed an agreement for the Biden administration. Russia is able to fire at least six shells for every Ukrainian one, they said, and Moscow has more tanks and fighting vehicles as well.
