It is noted that the Russians have already exhausted their ammunition reserves in Belarus.
Russian troops are running out of artillery ammunition. As a result, it is difficult for the occupiers to maintain the current pace of operations in certain areas of the front line in Ukraine.
This is stated in a report by analysts of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). According to their assessment, the Russians do not have the necessary supply of artillery ammunition to support large-scale offensive operations.
The head of the GUR of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, said that the Russian troops in Ukraine have serious problems with artillery ammunition, which will become more noticeable by March 2023. According to analysts, the insufficient amount of ammunition will partially prevent the occupying forces from maintaining a high pace of operations in the Bakhmut area in the near future. In addition, it will affect their ability to conduct active operations elsewhere in Ukraine.
It is noted that the Russian troops have already exhausted the stocks of ammunition in Belarus. This is further evidence that a resumption of a large-scale Russian offensive from Belarus in the coming months is unlikely.
The war in Ukraine: the latest news
According to the latest data, the enemy lost 105 thousand 960 soldiers in the war in Ukraine. Last day, the defense forces repelled the attacks of the Russian troops in the area of 9 settlements in Donbas.
As early as December 29, 2022, military expert Petro Chernyk reported that a “shell famine” had begun in Russia.
“Today, the war is still 95% an artillery war. Indeed, the “shell famine” in the Russian Federation has begun, but it is not as critical as possible. At the beginning of this war, the Russians had between 15 and 20 million shells of various calibers,” he said he.
