 The war in Ukraine has also created a serious threat for Britain. The UK's ammunition stockpile is at dangerously low levels due to the Ukraine war members of parliament have warned. Rebuilding the UK's diminishing stockpile of munitions after the conflict could take at least a decade, putting British security at risk, they say. The Commons Defence Committee said the UK and other NATO allies have allowed their reserves of ammunition to fall to dangerously low levels. As they look to keep Kiev supplied in its defence against the Russian invasion. The committee said the way in which Western governments procure armaments is not fit for purpose and it urged the Ministry of Defence, M.O.D., to draw up an action plan to cut the time needed to restore its stockpiles. It said, it is clear that the UK and its NATO allies have allowed ammunition stockpiles to dwindle to dangerously low levels, whilst Russia is also facing the diminution of its stockpiles. Other adversaries are able to maintain and potentially increase their own. This inability to replenish UK stockpiles therefore puts at risk not just our ability to resupply Ukraine but also to counter any threat to our own security. The committee's warning echoes concerns expressed by Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, who has said that armed forces across Europe have been paying the price for years of hollowing out. In a month, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg urgently urged allies to step up production as the Ukrainians were burning up munitions faster than the West was able to keep them supplied.
