The U.S. military's support for Ukraine has significantly depleted its ammunition stores, according to a Tuesday report.
Some U.S. defense officials say reserves of some munitions are "uncomfortably low" and they are concerned that the military's readiness for unexpected threats could be hampered by the shortage, according to The Wall Street Journal. The report comes roughly a week after President Biden announced an additional $3 billion in defense aid for Ukraine.
Earlier in August, the Pentagon sent what was then its largest-yet package to Ukraine, a $1 billion injection of High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition and more.
Past U.S. security donations for Ukraine have included weapons, equipment and medical supplies — things that meet the immediate need of combat against Russian forces. Wednesday's package will reportedly focus on bolstering the country's security infrastructure.

U.S. security donations for Ukraine have included weapons, equipment and medical supplies — things that meet the immediate need of combat against Russian forces. Last week's $3 billion package will focus on bolstering the country's security infrastructure, however.
The low supply comes as tensions between China, Taiwan and the U.S. continue to escalate. The Chinese military has held live-fire drills surrounding the self-governed island for weeks, apparently simulating an invasion.
