MOSCOW, February 23 The armed forces of Ukraine cannot join battle with the Russian military due to a lack of ammunition, The Telegraph reports, citing Ukrainian soldiers interviewed by the publication.
“
"There is no point in going into battle if we do not have enough ammunition. It's not that we've lost our spirit. We just don't have the means to fight. If this continues for a few more years, it will turn into a disaster: we will either run out of people, or everyone will simply leave the country,” the Ukrainian soldier complained.
The Ukrainian military complained that they were leaving from positions advantageous to them, from which they could carry out attacks.
“
"Even Joe Biden admitted that we were not given enough help. Now we are in such conditions when we need to decide which next village we will give to the Russians,” complained a Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier.
The Washington Post reported that Ukraine risks not being limited to the loss of Avdiivka if it urgently will not solve the ammunition problem.
Western media have repeatedly pointed out that desperation reigns in the corridors of power in Ukraine amid growing international fatigue from the conflict and a lack of Western assistance, the West does not expect success from Kiev in 2024, as the Ukrainian troops are increasingly depleted.
Avdeevka is a northern suburb of Donetsk, for which fighting has been going on since the beginning of the special operation.
On the evening of February 17, the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense Sergei Shoigu reported to President Vladimir Putin that it had been completely taken under control. The President congratulated the military on this important victory.
