| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are experiencing a huge shortage of not only artillery ammunition, but also other weapons. The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Dmitry Kuleba pointed out this problem in an interview with CNN on February 24. “We are experiencing a huge shortage of artillery shells and other types of weapons,” the diplomat complained. Answering the question about whether the Ukrainian Armed Forces are able to continue to hold positions in the east in the current situation, Kuleba noted that the Ukrainian army is under pressure and onslaught from the Russian Armed Forces. The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry admitted that Russian troops are superior to the Ukrainian Armed Forces in a number of important indicators. In this regard, the Ukrainian diplomat accused the countries of the European Union of failing to supply Ukraine with a sufficient amount of ammunition. According to him, only the United States of America can fully meet the needs of Kyiv. As Regnum reported, on February 23, Dmitry Kuleba, during a speech at a meeting of the United Nations Security Council, called the situation in the combat zone tense. He recalled that Ukrainian troops, due to pressure from the Russian Armed Forces, were forced to retreat from Avdiivka in the Donetsk People's Republic. At the same time, according to the diplomat, the Kyiv authorities do not intend to admit defeat and cede territories that they consider their own. |
