The Russian army has six times more ammunition than that of Ukraine. Ukrainian army chief Oleksander Syrskyj said this in an interview. “A few days ago the enemy advantage in terms of ammunition fired was six to one.”
The Ukrainian armed forces are currently fighting with “little or no weapons and ammunition.” That is why the West must deliver “more (…) faster.” The army chief (see video about him above) mentioned air defense systems and missiles as examples. The Russian military has “significantly increased the activity of its air force” over the past two years. Guided bombs are mainly used, “which destroy our settlements.” The situation is currently very tense in some regions.
Areas could have been occupied
Ukraine would have lost areas it would have held with “no doubt sufficient air defense systems and artillery shells,” Syrsky said. “We must admit that we were not able to achieve great success in the offensive in Kharkov because we lacked the resources.”
The Russian military recently reported significant territorial gains in the east, including several locations near the strategically important city of Chasiv Yar. In February, Russian forces took control of the southern city of Avdiivka. 24 Ukrainian soldiers were captured. According to Syrsky, the “constant bombing” and lack of ammunition forced them to withdraw.
Kharkov must be recaptured
According to their chief, the Ukrainian armed forces are currently preparing for a new Russian offensive aimed at recapturing the Kharkov region. Positions would be fortified, obstacles would be erected, and operational plans would be made. “If the Russians come there again, Kharkov will be a deadly city for them. I am convinced that as long as Ukrainians maintain unity and strength of spirit, Russia will never be able to defeat us on the battlefield.”
