About 5-6 thousand artillery shells is an annual order for the army of a small European country.
Due to the intensity of the fighting, the Ukrainian army is forced to expend 4,000 to 7,000 artillery shells every day. This was announced on Wednesday, March 22, by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, writes The Guardian.
At the same time, he pointed out that the enemy was using more shells every day.
“The fighting is so intense that Ukraine uses between 4,000 and 7,000 artillery shells a day, compared to the 20,000 used by the Russian Federation. The current level of ammunition consumption is higher than the level of production,” said Stoltenberg.
He noted that the issue of ammunition for Ukraine remains relevant, because Putin does not intend to end the war.
“The West must be ready to continue to support Ukraine with ammunition and weapons,” the NATO Secretary General insisted.
He said that the Russian Federation is increasing military-industrial production and turning to the authoritarian regimes of Iran, North Korea and other states for weapons.
At the same time, the head of the Alliance called on NATO members to increase their defense spending.
Spain announced that it will join the initiative approved the previous day for Europe’s purchase of one million artillery shells for Ukraine during the year.
