Kiev has reportedly asked the military bloc to urgently provide it with hundreds of thousands of uniforms and other equipment 

NATO members have been scraping the barrel in their efforts to supply Ukraine with sufficient winter uniforms and field camp equipment, Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine reported on Monday. 

Kiev has apparently called on the bloc to urgently provide the necessary equipment before the cold weather sets in. 

According to Der Spiegel, Ukrainian Defense Minister Aleksey Reznikov wrote a letter to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg back in late July, calling on the military alliance to provide cold-proof field tents along with clothing for as many as 200,000 Ukrainian soldiers. 

The uniforms and equipment should be delivered as quickly as possible, the minister added, according to the magazine.
