MOSCOW, 8 Apr. Ukrainian military personnel have to collect unexploded ordnance due to a severe shortage in the troops, writes The Washington Post.
“Artillery shells for Soviet-era Ukrainian guns, which make up the bulk of their arsenal, have long been in short supply. This forced it to rely on installations provided by the Western allies to Kiev,» the article says.
As the journalists specify, stocks of 155 mm caliber for American guns are also gradually drying up, despite NATO's desperate attempts to increase production.
In In such a difficult situation, the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to search for unexploded ordnance and bring them to the artillerymen for reuse, the article summarizes.
