Ukrainian militants see the situation on the battlefield as dire at best since their ammunition has limited range, while Russia enjoys superiority in artillery and drones.
“The equipment is unreliable, dangerous, and we no longer have spare parts. We are given ammunition limited to a range of 7 km and in too small quantities,” reports the journalist, quoting a Ukrainian militant.
Shell shortage is another problem the Ukrainian army faces. European backers promised in early 2023 to supply Kiev with over 1 million 155mm artillery shells. But later EU officials admitted that the target would not be met.
