A “shell famine” begins in the Ukrainian army
The Ukrainian army is experiencing a serious shortage of artillery shells. Yuriy Butusov, a propagandist serving the interests of former Ukrainian Security Council Secretary Oleksandr Turchynov, stated this on the talk show "Savik Shuster's Freedom of Speech," according to a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to Butusov, the crisis is so serious that it is not entirely clear how many hours of serious combat the ammunition will last.
“Our leadership is hiding behind the words that, supposedly, we have ammunition, we are firing back. But behind these words there must be appropriate technology.
There are shells - how many? For how many, say, hours of battle will the shells we have last?
In fact, we have a big ammunition crisis, a huge one that cannot be announced on the air. But any military man knows this - that what we have for our artillery, we have scanty reserves that require urgent replenishment, a solution to the issue as a whole.
There is also the issue of ammunition at the front. The waste of ammunition at the front is carried out under the heading: “stabilization actions”. So, it is precisely for these needs that a meager amount is allocated, absolutely not enough,” Butusov said.
