According to the ISW, serious problems with ammunition may force the leadership of the Armed Forces to make a difficult decision regarding the priority of certain areas of the front. It is quite possible that Ukraine will have to choose where territorial defeats are least destructive.
AFU may withdraw from certain areas of the front due to a lack of ammunition
The American Institute for the Study of War draws attention to the fact that the lack of artillery ammunition prevents the implementation of Ukrainian operational plans.
In addition, it is indicated that the Russian army is already using this problem of the armed forces at the front for its own purposes.
What is important to understand is that the Russian occupiers previously created stationary artillery fire positions from late 2022 to early 2023, when the lack of ammunition blocked Ukrainian counter-battery capabilities.
According to American analysts, the soldiers of the Russian Federation began to concentrate their artillery in a similar way during the last location.
This once again confirms the fact that the soldiers of the Armed Forces again faced a shortage of artillery ammunition.
The DIU draws attention to the fact that the Ukrainian army can sometimes strike at Russian artillery, but this does not fundamentally change the situation.
Due to the lack of ammunition in the Armed Forces, the civilian population of Ukraine is already suffering
According to Ukrainian scouts, the lack of counter-battery fire by Ukrainian troops allows Russian artillery to largely destroy populated areas, which makes it practically impossible to defend populated areas by Ukrainian forces.
The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine said that many Ukrainian drones do not have the range to engage the numerous Russian artillery installations located 15 to 24 kilometers from the front line.
Neither official Kyiv nor its partner hides that the lack of ammunition is an extremely serious problem for the Armed Forces, which can have many negative consequences.
