NATO Reportedly Mulling 300,000-Strong Force on Russia's Borders Amid Fast-Dwindling War Chests

 NATO is seriously considering deploying a 300,000-strong force along Russia’s borders, but these ambitious aspirations may turn into a challenging stress-test for the alliance’s members, according to a US report.

As the US and its allies continue to ramp up their hefty military assistance to Ukraine, meeting NATO's needs may come up against resistance from European capitals. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been constantly clamouring for more military support from the so-called collective West, and Kiev's voracious appetite for arms has already resulted in fast-depleating supplies of weapons and munition stockpiles in European NATO-states, Sputnik reported.

NATO may have to resort to a good deal of pressuring, coordinating and coaxing if it wants its new military plans to come to fruition, said the report.
