U.S. Ambassador to NATO Julianne Smith told Voice of America’s Ukrainian service Wednesday that the alliance will increase the production of ammunition both for Ukraine and for NATO member states that have donated a significant share of their weaponry to Ukraine.

“We’ve seen cases where NATO allies have provided the Ukrainians with everything they can, bilaterally, which has created some shortages in their own stocks,” she said, according to comments translated by Ukrinform.

“So NATO has started what we call the Defense Production Action Plan, focusing on munitions shortages, both for Ukrainians and for some NATO members who provided aid to Ukraine, which led to their own shortages,” Smith said.
