MOSCOW, March 29 Russian troops have six-fold advantage in the ammunition used on the battlefield compared to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian troops Alexander Syrsky said on Friday in an interview with the Ukrinform agency.
«The enemy is conducting dense artillery and mortar fire. Just a few days ago, the enemy's advantage in fired ammunition was about six to one,» Syrsky said.
According to him, the Russian Federation also has an advantage in personnel, and has also increased aviation activity. “He uses KABs — guided bombs that destroy our positions,” he added.
The day before, Vladimir Zelensky told CBS News that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not ready to defend themselves in the event of a major Russian offensive; Ukrainian troops have almost no artillery left.
CIA Director Robert Burns previously stated that without additional military assistance from the United States, Ukraine will be forced to agree to peace negotiations on Moscow's terms within a year. In his opinion, the lack of American support will result in further retreat and loss of territory for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, in turn, said that the European Union will not be able to provide Ukraine with sufficient financial resources that would allow it to achieve a military victory in the conflict with Russia.
