To its credit, the Biden administration is gearing up for a sixfold increase in monthly production of the shells, and sharply accelerating the manufacture of other materiel. European countries, too, are rushing to furnish Ukraine with more shells. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Ukrainian units are firing roughly 3,000 daily — 1/3d the number of rounds screaming back from the Russians. Not only is Ukraine’s inventory dwindling, but the U.S. prewar production of the shells, fewer than 15,000 per month, is scarcely enough to sustain Ukraine for five days. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

The most pressing need in Ukraine is the supply of 155mm howitzer shells, which in recent months have become the main munition holding Russia at bay. We have supplied more than 1 million to Ukraine since the war’s outset. https://t.co/Yv6BMvhOm4 — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

In a ground war that has come to resemble World War I — with thousands of artillery rounds fired daily against deeply dug-in armies — Ukrainian forces are now at risk of running low on key munitions, firing shells faster than we are producing them. https://t.co/Yv6BMvhOm4 — PolitiTweet.org

Washingtonians have a right to feel and be safe. At the moment, it would be hard to say this is the case. Now that President Biden has made his decision, leaders should feel a renewed sense of urgency to get D.C.’s house in order. https://t.co/n5nclMHf12 — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

They should write new legislation that does not reduce sentences for violent crimes or tie the hands of prosecutors who are trying to keep bad actors off the street. This is what their constituents want. https://t.co/n5nclMHf12 — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Now that the city is in this regrettable place, however, the duly-elected members of the D.C. government have an opportunity, if not an obligation, to go back to the drawing board and prove to the country that safety and self-determination are not incompatible values. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden should declassify the Energy Department’s update, ask other intelligence agencies to refresh their reporting, and offer a new report to the public. Only by understanding how the pandemic began can the world start to prepare for the next one. https://t.co/UY868KB0c7 — PolitiTweet.org

Our latest editorial: Russia's war of attrition against Ukraine could drag on years. Our leaders need to think beyond spring offensives, annual appropriations or election cycles. Long fights call for planning and vision. Effective air power is essential. https://t.co/zZDoDTiu3i — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Advanced fighter jets are not a panacea; they are one element of deterrence. If the Biden administration insists, they could be provided on the understanding that Ukraine will not use them to attack targets in Russian territory. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has approved advanced fighter jet training for Ukrainian pilots. Both Poland and the Netherlands, whose air arsenals include F-16s, have signaled they are prepared to do the same or more. French President Emmanuel Macron is considering it too. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Supplying Kyiv with U.S.-made F-16s would take time — well over a year given the intensive training needed not only for aviators but also for mechanics and other logistical personnel. — PolitiTweet.org
