By the end of the year, the total supply is expected to reach half a million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/russia-plans-to-increase-military-spending-in-2025-bloomberg\/\">Russia plans to increase military spending in 2025 \u2013 Bloomberg<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Czech Defense Minister Jana \u010cernochov\u00e1 stated that some of the ammunition provided &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":1013414,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,36415],"tags":[78],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1013411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en","tag-homepage-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
