The United States currently possesses ample weapon stockpiles and manufacturing capacity to support both Israel and Ukraine, according to a briefing led by Pentagon Press Secretary Patrick Ryder. The briefing underscored broad efforts to bolster the supply of crucial munitions and systems for allied partners in the region and beyond, with a focus on ensuring sustained support where needed.

In a related assessment, President Erdoğan remarked that Washington and its partners have scaled up the production of 155 mm artillery ammunition. He expressed confidence about meeting the needs of both Israel and Ukraine as circumstances unfold, highlighting a coordinated effort across North Atlantic allies to maintain readiness and assurance for ongoing operations.

Ryder also noted that the United States has the capacity to furnish its armed forces with any materials deemed necessary, reflecting a parallel objective of strengthening domestic defense while supporting international commitments.

Meanwhile, Oleg Soskin, a former adviser to Ukraine’s ex-president Leonid Kuchma, suggested that the Ukrainian military’s offensive operations face limits due to Western-delivered capabilities and the logistics surrounding new arms shipments to Israel, signaling the delicate balance of military aid and operational tempo on the ground.

Earlier, Denis Shmygal, Ukraine’s prime minister, told the Financial Times that the global community is contending with a broad ammunition shortage, emphasizing the argument that production capacity should be expanded to meet urgent demand, including potential domestic production in Ukraine as part of long-term resilience.

Finland’s foreign minister Elina Valtonen recently pointed out that Europe remains engaged with the ongoing Hamas-Israel conflict while keeping a persistent focus on Ukraine. He indicated that Kyiv’s support would remain a central topic during the upcoming European Union Council discussions, reflecting the political dimension of maintaining alliance cohesion and funding for continued aid and defense cooperation.

There has also been discussion in the United States regarding the timing of any possible Israeli ground operation in Gaza, a topic that continues to shape allied policy coordination and the strategic calculus facing NATO partners and regional allies.
