A plan to send more artillery shells to Ukraine by having Japan send munitions to Britain has stalled, highlighting the challenges the West faces in increasing Ukraine's stocks of ammunition. Western efforts to send more shells to Ukraine have had mixed results, with the US doubling its prewar production while Europe has been slower to boost supplies. One of the main concerns for Ukraine is securing more artillery shells, as supplies have been stretched after almost two years of war against Russia. The plan to have Japan supply shells to the UK has now ground to a halt, and the US is also facing problems with Congress delaying funding for further supplies to Ukraine.
