As announcements of donations of armored vehicles and other military equipment to Ukraine by Western countries mount, Russia could run out of equipment, particularly its artillery. In any case, this is what American and Ukrainian officials suggest on American CNN television.
According to them, almost eleven months after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian artillery fire has decreased by up to 75% in some places of the conflict.
A Russian weakness?
This significant drop could be a consequence of the Kremlin’s supply difficulties or the illustration of new military tactics in the face of certain Ukrainian advances.
“In any case, the surprising drop in artillery fire is further evidence of Russia’s weakening position on the battlefield,” the officials, who remained anonymous, told US media.
However, the fighting continues on the front lines. On Monday night, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his troops were resisting “new, even more violent attacks” in Soledar, near Bakhmout, a town in eastern Ukraine that Moscow has been trying to take for months. .
