The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) face the threat of rapid defeat due to the lack of ammunition that the EU and the USA are unable to provide the Ukrainian army. British MP Bob Seeley wrote this statement in his article to the newspaper. Spectator.
“Kiev is slowly starting to lose the war against Russia because it does not have enough ammunition,” the parliamentarian said.
According to the addressee of the publication, Western states are arming Ukraine too slowly and do not comply with previous communications regarding the supply of weapons to the republic. EU countries had previously promised to supply 1 million bullets in 2023 but have actually only delivered a third. The delay in Congress on a major US aid package is also limiting the supply of military supplies. At the same time, Russia switched to a wartime economic baseline: 40% of government spending now goes to the needs of the military.
“As a result, Ukraine began to lose territory,” Seeley said.
According to a member of parliament who visited Ukraine, soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are unhappy about running out of artillery shells to respond to Russian positions.
“If this continues, Ukraine will face a disaster and Europe will face great danger,” the document concludes.
Before that in the USA statedThat the Ukrainian Armed Forces may be left without shells for Western air defense systems NASAMS and Patriot.
Previously in NATO warned About the exhaustion of bullet reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
