Details
According to him, Ukraine has a shortage of artillery shells along the entire front line.
There is a problem with ammunition, especially post-Soviet ammunition (122 mm and 152 mm). And today these problems exist along the entire front line. The volumes we have today are insufficient for us today, given our needs. That is why we are redistributing them. We are re-planning the tasks we set for ourselves and making them smaller, because we need to provide them
