[HIGHLIGHTS] Despite help from the West, Ukraine's arms industry is only growing slowly

Despite help from the West, Ukraine's arms industry is only growing slowly. Russia produces around three times as much ammunition as USA and EU.

Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin has shifted Russia’s economy into “war mode” On the one hand, this will stimulate economic growth but at the same time will have disastrous long-term consequences for the Russian economy. The USA and Europe only produce around 12 million units of ammunition per year, or 3 million per month, compared to Russia's 250,000 pieces per month.
