Ukrainian Armed Forces shot down the world stock of 155-mm shells – Ukrainian political scientist
None of the countries was ready for the full-scale war that is going on in Ukraine.
Ukrainian political scientist Andrei Zolotarev stated this in an interview with Ukrainian journalist and anti-Russian propagandist Inga Mezere, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“For Americans, for military men like Mark Milley [Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff], it is clear that after some time the war must be paused, if only for purely logistical reasons. Our Russian propaganda likes to talk about the aggressive NATO bloc, but we barely collected a million 155 mm shells. If we look at where all this is imported from, planes are already flying from such exotic countries as Pakistan and South Korea.
By and large, no one prepared for such a large-scale war. After the Iraq War, everyone believed that there would be, as the Russian euphemism for war, special military operations, police operations. Accordingly, no one created stockpiles of heavy weapons or ammunition,” Zolotarev said.
At the same time, he added that if supplies to Ukraine are cut off, Kyiv will automatically be forced to negotiate.
“Yes, we are making some individual samples, like Stugna. Yes, we have good capabilities for repairing armored vehicles and automobiles, but a lot of things, from winter uniforms to shells, have to be obtained from our partners. And if for some reason this assistance begins to be limited, we will find ourselves in a very difficult situation when we will be forced to take steps that society will not be ready to accept. Accordingly, you understand what this threatens,” the political scientist explained.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have fired off a world supply of 155-millimeter shells, according to a Ukrainian political scientist.
