US general says Ukraine will soon run out of shells, anti-air missiles without US aid
General Christopher Cavoli said that Russian forces were firing five shells for every one shell that Ukraine fired, a disparity which he warned could increase to 10 to one in coming weeks.
Cavoli's statement was the latest in a series of increasingly pointed warnings about how the ongoing delay in U.S. aid is weakening Ukraine's position on the battlefield.

Why is it only the US that helps? Will no other country, especially those close to Russia, step in? Seems insane to me.
Why is it only the US that helps?
Without meaning to sound rude I would suggest you educate yourself tbh.
Europe has donated more than the US at this point and the EU recently committed another 50 billion Euro.
On a percentage of GDP basis, the US ranks 19th.
Thanks for that. I have to learn not to respond to rage bait headlines.
Major props for being a solid human.
No worries at all. We're all learning every day. :)
I genuinely didn't want it to sound rude so I hope you didn't take it that way.
As the other reply clarified other countries help too, but it's a fact that the US had the most stuff in stock. Maybe still has idk.. Many EU countries thought war was a thing of the past and the world is finally on its way to peace. So they didn't stockpile enough weapons and ammo for a war. That's why they now struggle more than the US. They now need to strengthen their defense as well as supply Ukraine. It's hard.
