Former senior US Defense Department official, military historian, and retired US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor revealed that the United States has dispatched nearly all of its war stocks and ammunition to Ukraine.
"We have sent almost all of our war stocks, weapons systems, and ammunition to Ukraine. We don't have a great deal left. The war in Ukraine is lost. Make peace, you fools!" Macgregor said in a post on X.

This is not the first time that the ex-Pentagon advisor has criticized the destination of US weapons in terms of the war in Ukraine.
On August 20, Macgregor highlighted the possibility of US-supplied weapons to Ukraine ending up on the black market.
"We're sending a billion dollars worth of equipment and much of it disappears perhaps on the black market and the cash never gets where it's supposed to go! What's happening right now demands our attention and understanding," Colonel Douglas Macgregor said in a post on X at the time.
Cash and equipment swap in Ukraine!

On November 23, during a speech at a summit of the Visegrad Group, an informal political club that includes the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia, Czech President Petr Pavel echoed Central Europe's support of Ukraine, as NATO views Russia as the biggest threat in Europe and is currently preparing for a major conflict, according to Pavel.
Pavel noted that he does not believe his counterparts have a differing view on the war in Ukraine, saying, “We’ve all agreed that it is in our imminent interest that Ukraine succeed,” as he called aiding Ukraine a “naturally human step.”
When asked about a potential threat to NATO from Russia, Pavel urged caution but argued it would take years for Russia to refurbish its military capabilities.
“On the other hand, there are many variables in the calculation that could change the situation. It will really depend on the outcome of the conflict in Ukraine,” he said, noting, “All armies are preparing for the possibility of a high-intensity conflict.”
