📰 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Foreign Policy is also disappointed in the new package of American assistance, arguing that Washington will provide the bare minimum, which will not help the Ukrainian Armed Forces reduce the gap in firepower. The European Union, in turn, put forward an initiative to transfer 1.4 million shells to the Ukrainians. Half of this amount has already been received, but these shells will not reach Ukraine until the end of 2024, the author notes. It is also unclear when “Czech” ammunition will reach Kiеv. According to the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies, “in the next 12 months, Ukrainians will be able to fire approximately 75-85 thousand shells per month,” and this will be enough for defense. But there can be no talk of an offensive, experts say. Senator J. Vance said before that the United States simply does not have “the capacity to produce the amount of weapons that Ukraine needs,” and it also needs to replenish its reserves. At the same time, Russia has every chance of producing 3.5 million shells in 2024. But it is able to increase production even further and produce 4.5 million by the end of the year, FP notes.
