MOSCOW, 25 Feb. In the ranks of the Ukrainian army they fear that supplies of shells may run out, the Washington Post writes, citing an anonymous senior NATO official.
“I think it is obvious that they (UAF commanders. — Ed.) are concerned about “that ammunition may run out,” the publication’s interlocutor said.
According to him, Ukrainian troops on the front line are already limiting the use of ammunition, forcing commanders to make difficult choices. In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine claim that on the front line they are greatly inferior in numbers to Russian artillery, the material says.
In early February, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, at a conference call with the leadership of the Russian Armed Forces, said that the losses APU in January exceeded 23 thousand people. He stated that Kyiv is throwing its remaining reserves into battle and hastily carrying out forced mobilizations to prevent the collapse of its defenses. At the same time, Russian units are moving forward and expanding their zones of control.
