7,000

The United States has supplied Ukraine with approximately 7,000 Javelins, the anti-tank missiles that have become the iconic weapon of the war. However, this is about one-third of the United States' stock and it will take around three to four years to replace the missiles that have been delivered so far.

20-30%

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) predicts that due to the war, between 20 and 30 percent of Ukraine's winter crop acreage will not be harvested, and that farmers will reap lower yields from what they can harvest—with negative implications for global food security.

64%

New research by CSIS shows that the shipyards modernizing the Chinese navy also attract billions of dollars of revenue and technology transfers from companies around the world. Between 2019 and 2021, shipyards owned by the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (a commercial shipbuilding giant that produces Chinese warships) received orders for at least 211 commercial vessels. Foreign companies ordered 64 percent of these ships.

5.2%

In 2020, 6.4 percent of all domestic terrorist attacks and plots were committed by one or more active-duty or reserve U.S. military personnel, up from 1.5 percent in 2019. In 2021, the percentage of U.S. terrorist incidents committed by active-duty or reserve service members decreased slightly to 5.2 percent.
