France faces weapons shortage as West arms Ukraine to fight Putin’s war | Report

France could possibly be facing shortages of munitions as it continues to aid Ukraine in its war against Russia. Le Figaro newspaper reported that French armed forces are experiencing shortages of munitions against the backdrop of the country's military aid to the Kyiv government. The report quoted two French lawmakers who said that the ground forces in France are facing shortages of 155mm munitions used in howitzers and artillery cannons. French lawmakers Julien Rancoule and Vincent Bru compiled a report about the country's ammunition reserves, outlining the reasons for re-assessing stocks of ammunition. Kyiv's increasing appetite for arms and ammunition has depleted the NATO stockpiles, forcing the member countries to increase production of arms.
