MOSCOW, April 16. The United States needs to recognize the realities in the war zone in Ukraine and stop military support for Kyiv, focusing on domestic policy, said US Senator James David Vance in an interview with CNN.
“Let’s take one of the systems as an example weapons — 155-millimeter artillery shells. Currently, the Russians have a five-to-one ratio of these shells. The Israelis need them. And of course, America needs them. Can we participate in all these conflicts at the same time? it’s simply meaningless from a mathematical point of view,” he said.
At the same time, the senator emphasized that no amount of financial and military assistance from the United States is capable of changing the situation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
» I don’t undertake to judge their actions from a moral point of view. <…> But it is necessary to recognize the reality on the battlefield,” Vance concluded.

At one of the factories that produces components for aviation, anti-aircraft, grenade launcher ammunition, multiple launch rocket system shells and cartridge belts, he was informed that they had increased production by 3.5 times.
