 Britain will be forced to stop providing arms to Ukraine, countries' military reserves are exhausted. Britain's weapons stockpiles have been nearly completely emptied out by almost two years of deliveries to Ukraine the times has reported. The British newspaper also claimed that the UK, together with other Western European nations, is scrambling to ramp up arms production ahead of the 2024 presidential election in the US. While London has spent more than $5.7 billion on arming Kiev, since February 2022, NATO's Deputy Supreme Allied Commander for Europe, General Tim Radford, warned in July that the UK risked losing its status within the US-led bloc. The general cited personnel shortages among other issues. The Times quoted an anonymous Ukrainian military source as saying that Britain had nothing left in terms of weapons it could donate. The unnamed official added, however, that London was playing a crucial role in persuading other nations to ship arms to Kiev. According to the newspaper, citing an unnamed staffer from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's office, Britain and several other Western European countries are cranking through the gears to make sure Ukraine has enough military supplies to fall back on in case the new US administration decides to withhold or drastically diminish defence aid. Britain and other Western nations are allegedly seeking to extend the conflict into 2025 and possibly beyond the source said in the hope of stretching Russia's resources and forcing it to eventually relent.
