"Russia's Defense Chief Calls for Doubling Missile Output Amid Ukraine Tensions"

Russia's defense chief has urged a state company to double its missile output as both sides in the 14-month war reportedly feel an ammunition crunch. Analysts have been trying to figure out whether Russia is running low on high-precision ammunition, as its missile barrages against Ukraine have become less frequent and smaller in scale. Ukrainian forces say they are readying their own counteroffensive and stockpiling ammunition to sustain it along potentially long supply lines. Denmark has donated $251 million in aid to Ukraine, including mine clearance vehicles, munition, field bridges, and money for air defense that will be needed for a counteroffensive against Russian forces.
