According to an analysis published by Sky News, Russia produces artillery shells faster and cheaper than Ukraine’s Western allies. This is a serious issue for the Ukrainian armed forces, who are facing insufficient ammunition supplies from the United States and Europe due to the Russian threat.

Efforts by USA, UK, and European Allies

Despite efforts by the USA, the UK, and other European allies to ramp up artillery shell production, they still lag behind Russia. This results in Ukrainian soldiers, despite their skills and training, feeling a shortage of ammunition on the front lines.

Strategic Use of Shells

Ukrainian fighters are forced to use each shell carefully, knowing that Russian forces may respond fivefold. This situation compels them to cautiously and judiciously expend each shell.
