In a rare admission, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has gone public about the reduction in the supply of artillery shells to Ukraine, telling reporters that deliveries of the munitions have "really slowed down." The 155mm artillery shells are arguably the most important munition for Ukraine in its war with Russia.. Ukraine has always been outmatched by Russia's superior artillery firepower, however this imbalance, which is key on the battlefield, is set to get worse.

“ We had more video coverage in a single day from viet nam than we’ve had in ukraine from the start of the operation

Well, we were at war (in effect) with Vietnam, so there’s that...”

What are you talking about

Russia currently produces around a million artillery shells a day

Source? A million rounds per day is a fantasy number.

WASHINGTON, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Russia may be able to increase production of artillery in the next couple years to about 2 million shells annually, about double some previous Western expectations but still far short of Moscow's Ukraine war needs, a Western official said on Friday.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, estimated Russia fired between 10 million and 11 million rounds last year in Ukraine.

“Western Officials” have been predicting that Russia would run out of artillery shells since March 2022.

Instead they just keep blasting away.

A difference between America being in a war and not being in a war? Yes, there is a big difference.

“ A difference between America being in a war and not being in a war? Yes, there is a big difference.”

We’ve given about 200 billion with a B to Ukraine for this war.

You don’t wonder why the news media doesn’t show this? Their motto is if it bleeds it leads

You think it’s because what? We’re not in it? In what way? 200 billion is pretty involved

Aside from your goofy figures, we aren’t in a war.

You will probably hear about it if NATO goes to war against Russia.

We aren’t in a war, and you doubling the aid figures is weird, but the real weirdness is thinking America is in a war when we aren’t.

Why wouldn’t NATO send aid to a European country that Russia is trying to conquer?

It fits the NATO purpose well.

Ukraine is neither in NATO nor even the European Union. It is not a democrat country where we can be pretending to spread democracy.
