According to Foreign Policy, Ukraine faces the problem of providing shells due to delay in supply from the United States. Even after financial assistance, most of the weapons needed by Ukraine will not get to the front. The pause will continue until the beginning of next year, according to Foreign Policy, citing US officials.
Ukraine will not receive shells until the United States replenish its own reserves.
Baiden's administration is expected to spend most of the year on restoring US reserves to pre -war.
On the other side of the Atlantic Arsenals are also empty. The 1.4 million shells will not be delivered by the end of 2024 by the EU promised Ukraine. According to European officials, the restoration of old artillery ammunition is about 30% cheaper than buying new ones, but most of them are coming from the former Soviet republics that do not want to spoil relations with the Kremlin.
Meanwhile, Russia is on the way to the production of 3.5 million shells in 2024 and may be able to increase production to 4.5 million ammunition by the end of the year, the newspaper writes.
