⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦 FT: Western intelligence shows Russians amassing aircraft on Ukraine border
Intelligence shared among Nato allies shows Russia is amassing fixed-wing and rotary aircraft close to the border with Ukraine, according to two officials briefed on its contents.
In meetings with allied countries supporting Ukraine on Tuesday, US defence secretary Lloyd Austin highlighted the threat of Russia’s significant remaining air force.
“He was very clear that we have a short window of time to help the Ukrainians to prepare for an offensive and that they had some pretty specific needs,” a senior US administration official said.

⚡️🇺🇦🇷🇺 FT: NATO is in ammunition race against Russia in Ukraine, says Stoltenberg
Nato member states are in a “race of logistics” with Russia in a bid to get crucial ammunition supplies to the Ukrainian army as Moscow starts its expected offensive in the east of the country, the alliance’s chief has warned.
The stepped-up hostilities ahead of the first anniversary of President Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion on February 24 have forced Ukraine’s army to consume ammunition at an unprecedented rate and prompted warnings from Kiev and western capitals about how sustainable its stockpiles are.
Ukraine’s ammunition shortages were “acute”, a senior western intelligence official told the Financial Times, adding that the speed of western supplies would be critical to the outcome of Russia’s attempt to regain the initiative in the war.
“The war in Ukraine is consuming an enormous amount of munitions and depleting allied stockpiles. The current rate of Ukraine’s ammunition expenditure is many times higher than our current rate of production. This puts our defence industries under strain,” Stoltenberg said.
