Ukrainian forces transport a 152 mm howitzer 2A65 Msta-B along a main road in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine on June 12. . KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine is running out of shells for the majority of its artillery in part because of a clandestine Russian campaign of bullying and sabotage over the past eight years, including bombings of key munitions depots across Eastern Europe that officials have linked to Moscow, according to Ukrainian government officials and military analysts.
A sort of shadow war is taking place for what few 152mm shells are available on the global market. A U.S. citizen helping to broker weapons transfers to Ukraine said he recently approached an Eastern European country to negotiate a purchase of artillery rounds. Officials in that country said they couldn’t make a deal, the man said, because the Russians had already warned that they would “kill them if they sold anything to the Ukrainians.
Russia has long known that in a drawn-out war of attrition against Ukraine, Kyiv would risk running out of ammunition, military analysts said. Ukraine knew it was a weakness, too, but the situation didn’t become dire until Russian troops and tanks rolled across its northern, eastern and southern borders on Feb. 24. The first round of airstrikes early that morning also targeted Ukrainian ammunition stocks.
The US has sent over $50 billion total to Ukraine. They should not be running out of shells
If 🇷🇺 has been hampering 🇺🇦 ammunition stocks since 2014, then it has either been preparing for war for 8 years or has kept the option open. former more likely. then minsk 2 was intended as a casus belli from the start. NS 2 was techn. finished 2019 when the whole theater started
Kinda like what the Biden administration wants to do to it's fellow citizens.

Haley says ‘Western weakness’ pushed Russia to invade Ukraine, warns of looming Chinese threatFormer U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Wednesday will say that “Western weakness” pushed Russia to invade Ukraine, warning of a looming threat from China. Biden is like the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz. He hasn’t got a brain. Fast forward to 2:42 Partly. But mainly Biden energy policies, constraining supply & driving energy prices up, filling Russia’s coffers so it could afford this war. Rus is strong when oil prices are high, dangerous when above $100. Trump policies kept energy prices low, RUS weak. It was the division that Putin was sowing what helped him! The US felt right in his trap! Democrats en republicans are fighting each other every single day, no unity whatsoever! That Trump isnt in office anymore doesnt matter, because Putin has everything he want from the US!!
