Leaked documents detail dire assessments of Ukrainian army: reports | The Hill

The classified documents apparently leaked last week detail the weaknesses in the Ukrainian army, specifically shortfalls of ammunition and air defense, according to reports.

The Washington Post reported that one of the leaked Pentagon documents detailed that Ukraine s air defense may not be able to protect the front lines through the end of May. One of the documents included an assessment from February from the Defense Department s Joint Staff, which said Ukraine s ability to provide medium range air defense to protect the [front lines] will be completely reduced by May 23, according to the Post. 

The reported classified document also says once Ukraine s first layer of defense munitions run out, the 2nd and 3rd Layer expenditure rates will increase, reducing the ability to defend against Russian aerial attacks from all altitudes.
