With Russia outgunning Ukraine’s artillery at an estimated 15-1 it looks like the main tool for halting Russia’s advance is about to start running at marginal effectiveness. Ukraine’s main industrial hubs are either already occupied, have incredibly difficult issues with supply lines, or have sustained physical damage, and artillery has been one of Ukraine’s most effective tools at slowing the Russian advance. The fact that Ukraine is simply using this ammunition faster than the west is willing to donate and faster than Ukraine’s domestic production can keep up with does not bode well for their ability to mount a meaningful defense for much longer. The last aid package passed by the US bought Ukraine only about 2 weeks worth of artillery shells.
Shit, they're still doing that! Just today they sent more shells/rockets into Donetsk, and that hasn't been an isolated thing either; i think the last 3 or 4 days have had Ukraine shelling civilian areas (mostly in and around Donetsk) well behind the actual front lines
If they were so worried about running out, maybe they should only use what they have left on soldiers ffs
