Ukraine’s envoy to the U.S. said her country is running out of missiles and other supplies.
Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States said her country is facing a “critical shortage” of weapons and military supplies.
During an interview with Bloomberg published on Thursday, Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova called on U.S. lawmakers to approve a new aid package for her country, saying additional support is necessary for Ukraine to fight Russia’s military.
The U.S. Senate is expected to soon vote on a $95 billion emergency spending package for Israel and Ukraine. About $60 billion of the funds in the package would go towards weapons and training for Ukraine as it continues to defend itself against the invasion Russian President Vladimir Putin launched nearly two years ago.
“We still have enough people who want to fight—there is no choice, actually for us, we are defending our homes—but we’re running out of equipment, especially missiles and interceptors,” Markarova told Bloomberg.
