The military armaments NATO nations have sent to Ukraine come from those nation's own national defense inventory.
Thus, while supplementing Ukraine's own military capability it would seem there's a corresponding depletion of the donor NATO member's own military defense capability.
Nato is ready for a "direct confrontation" with Russia, a top admiral has warned.
Rob Bauer, chair of the Nato Military Committee, said "we are ready” when asked if the US-led organisation was prepared for a confrontation with Vladimir Putin's regime amid the war in Ukraine.
But he stressed he did not think there would be a nuclear conflict between the two military powers as Putin was "not insane" and was still a "rational" person.
Bauer also told Portugal's RTP TV channel that Nato would only respond if Russia crossed a red line by invading a Nato member state.

Bauer said Nato had started moving battle groups along the eastern front and had created four more battle groups following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
He said this was an important message for Moscow to show Nato's posture had changed.
It comes after Ukraine secured pledges from the West in January to supply main battle tanks to help fend off Russia's full-scale invasion.
