Details. According to Skibitsky, Ukraine is losing to russia in this artillery battle and relies almost entirely on Western weapons.
“Ukraine has one artillery piece to 10 to 15 russian artillery pieces. Our western partners have given us about 10% of what they have,” said Skibitsky.
According to him, Ukraine uses from 5,000 to 6,000 artillery rounds a day.
“We have almost used up all of our artillery ammunition and are now using 155-calibre NATO standard shells,” he said.
He also added that “Europe is also delivering lower-calibre shells but as Europe runs out, the amount is getting smaller”.
The intelligence representative stressed the need for the West to provide Ukraine with long-range missile systems to destroy russian artillery guns from afar.
