  1. > Ukraine has warned its allies that it is facing a “critical” shortage of artillery shells with Russia deploying three times as much firepower on the frontlines each day.
    > Defense Minister Rustem Umerov wrote to his European Union counterparts this week describing the massive numerical disadvantage his troops are facing as they try to fight off fresh Russian assaults. He said Ukraine is unable to fire more than 2,000 shells a day across a frontline that stretches for 1,500 kilometers (930 miles), according to a document seen by Bloomberg. That’s less than a third of the ammunition Russia uses.
    >
    > Ukraine’s weapons shortages are growing worse by the day, Umerov added, as he urged his EU allies to do more to meet their pledge to supply a million artillery rounds. He said Ukaine needs to at least match the firepower deployed its enemy.
    >
    > “The side with the most ammunition to fight usually wins,” Umerov said, according to the document.
    >
    > The EU acknowledged on Wednesday that it will supply barely half of the shells it had promised by a March deadline, resolving to deliver almost 600,000 more by the end of the year.
    >
    > Ukraine needs 200,000 155mm shells per month, the document says. Moscow is on track to get almost twice that amount, according to Estonian estimates, with about a million shells coming from North Korea, .
    >
    > At a meeting of defense ministers on Wednesday, the EU said it will have a capacity to produce 1 million rounds per year and expects to double that capacity to 2 million in 2025. The US is also ramping up production of shells in order to help Ukraine meet its needs.

  2. Generals fighting with the President as well. Clearly, Ukraine needs a lucky break.

  3. Ukraine is fucked, the west knew it, knows it, and does nothing to prevent the shitshow. As guilty as Russia.

  5. But Redditors tell me every day that Ukraine is winning and will win the war.

  6. “*Then it is an even fight.*”

    But nah seriously that sucks, I am rooting for you Ukraine.

  7. That’s going to happen when the top brass are siphoning out money meant for ammunition into personal bank accounts.

  8. It’s crazy to hear in 2024 that North Korea has ended up as a better ally than many Western nations

  9. Remember this feet-dragging bullshit during election season!

  10. Unpopular opinion but I just don’t see how Ukraine ends this war without giving up territory to Russia

  11. This is really turning into “nah, I’d win” from my perspective – an outsider being told the news from day to day

  13. However still managing to inflict 1 – 7+ loss to the Russians. But again Russia just has more meat to throw.

  15. Just ignore all the corruption that happens in Ukraine as to why they could be losing

  17. Finally good to see some realistic expectations. Should have woken up to this in 2022

  18. Just to note, modern Western military forces don’t use artillery like what Russia and Ukraine are doing. Thus, Western countries do not produce the amount of shells Ukraine needs. Western doctrine would be using air power to do what Ukraine is doing with artillery.

  19. so much money…. *so much*. Didn’t seem to help that much though. Did the PayPal transaction not go through or something?

  20. Weird to read the word “ally” since Ukraine is doing all the fighting and has to constantly beg for weapons. There was a time when that word meant much more

  23. Rheinmetall has the largest 155mm artillery and 120mm tank ammunition production capacity in the entire West. They have been in the process of ramping this up for some time. Meanwhile Rheinmetall is also planning and building new production facilities in Germany, Lithuania, Ukraine and Hungary

  24. Do people just magically forget that Ukraine was the most corrupt country in Europe decades before Russia invaded? Your money sent over to Ukraine will just disappeared, that’s why recently Zelenskyy just arrested a few people pocketed money from the war.

  26. How the hell are we still holding out weapons for Ukraine makes me SMH, Canada could use the economic boost of ramping up weapons production IMO anyway, what a shame.

  27. If people don’t grasp that Trump loudly claiming to be the one who sunk a long-negotiated and very conservative border bill had less to do with the border and it’s effect on election and more to do with the Ukrainian aid that was attached (hence border bill being so conservative) then they need to wake up!!!

    Trump serves Putin and needs their help to win the election. He also still needs the Russian oligarchy’s money too. WAKE UP AMERICA

  28. This is so deja vu back to the Finnish Winter war.

    They, too, after 2 months of fighting the Red Army, faced shortages of artillery.

    I recalled in one of the movies the front line Finnish soldiers are asking why their artillery became silent.. they have used up all their ammo.

    Please dont make the 2nd mistake. Start a war economy and start producing artillery 155mm shells for Ukraine.

    Russia has already went into war economy. Europe has not.
