The head of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, Oleksiy Reznikov, urged EU countries to send 250,000 shells per month to Kiev. His letter is available Finance Times.
The appeal says that this number of rounds each month will help fill a critical gap that could limit the progress of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (APU) on the battlefield.
The head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine announced that it uses only 20% of the amount of shells available to the military – an average of 110,000 NATO caliber 155 mm shells per month.
“If we weren’t limited by the number of shells available, we could use the full load of 594,000 rounds per month. “According to our estimates, for the successful completion of combat missions,” he said.
