MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Former US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that military assistance to Ukraine had led to the depletion of US ammunition stocks.
"Right now, we don’t have any ammunition. Ukraine has the ammunition, all of it just about," Trump said, speaking to Republicans in the state of Georgia.
Trump noted that the United States during his presidency "had so much ammunition" and now "we have very little ammunition to protect ourselves."
The former president also promised to achieve peace in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine within 24 hours if he is reelected to the presidency next year.
