It will take time to load the ships, which then have to cross the Atlantic. But we see results. Russia’s artillery advantage was 7:1 at the beginning of the year, but has now been reduced to 5:1, said First Deputy Defense Minister of Ukraine Ivan Gavrilyuk.
In particular, as the AP publication writes, in the 110th brigade, which fought near the temporarily occupied by the Russians c. Kamysh, less than a month ago new shells began to arrive.
As brigade press officer Ivan Sekach told reporters, the new additions increased the unit’s supplies by 75% compared to last winter, when supplies were so low that “the military had no choice but to give up land to save the lives of soldiers.”
Sekach added:
But they are not enough to hold back Russian advances, and they are often not the big calibers that are most needed. We need four times as many to operate without counting every projectile and prioritizing what to hit.
At the Munich Security Conference, Czech President Petr Pavel said that his state had found hundreds of thousands of shells for Ukraine, but the project needed funding. Pavel called on allied countries to help raise money to buy weapons. A number of states have already volunteered to allocate funds. Among them are Portugal, Finland, Germany, Lithuania and others.
In April, the Czech government, as part of its initiative to supply ammunition to Ukraine, entered into contracts for 180 thousand artillery shells, which will be delivered to the Ukrainian front in the coming months.
Ammunition is arriving in Ukraine these days,” Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky said on June 15.
He stated that the first batches of shells purchased within the framework of the Czech initiative are already arriving and will continue to arrive in Ukraine in the future.
This year we will be able to purchase and continuously supply a significant amount of ammunition. By this time, the Czech Republic had supplied more than a million shells to Ukraine through various channels,” said the Czech Foreign Minister.
Let us remind you that the ammunition was purchased thanks to 20 countries that financed the purchase of shells for Ukraine.
