The report of December 18 interviews the brigade General Alexander Tarnavsky, in which he stated that Ukrainian troops were experiencing a lack of 122 mm and 152 mm shells along the front line. According to him, this forces the Ukrainian forces to redistribute ammunition and redevelop military tasks.
Analysts noted that both Russia and Ukraine have spent a large part of their Soviet reserves with 122 mm and 152 mm artillery shells, which forced both countries to look for other reserves of these artillery ammunition abroad. It is reported that the Ukrainian forces are increasingly using 155-mm artillery systems.
"The lack of artillery and delays in the provision of Western assistance for safety will create uncertainty in Ukrainian operational plans and probably encourage Ukrainian forces to save resources that can force Ukrainian forces to make difficult decisions on the priority of certain areas of the front," the report reads.
