Kiev forces are almost out of ammunition and can only rely on Western-supplied arms in the battle against Russia, a top Ukrainian intelligence official has said.
“This is an artillery war now,” Vadim Skibitsky, the deputy head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, told The Guardian on Friday.
Ranged combat is going to decide the outcome of the conflict between the two countries, “and we are losing in terms of artillery,” he acknowledged.
Ukrainian troops are currently firing 5,000 to 6,000 artillery rounds a day, and their stockpiles are running out fast, the intelligence official said. “We have almost used up all of our [artillery] ammunition and are now using 155-caliber NATO standard shells,” he said.
Kiev is also severely outgunned in the Donbass, having almost run out of the Soviet- and Russia-designed artillery pieces it had at the start of Moscow’s military operation, according to Skibitsky. “Ukraine has one artillery piece to 10 to 15 Russian artillery pieces,” he pointed out.
“Everything now depends on what [the West] gives us,” the intelligence official said. “Our Western partners have given us about 10% of what they have.”
Skibitsky also called upon Kiev’s foreign backers to supply long-range rocket systems that could destroy Russian artillery pieces from afar.
The US and its allies have been reluctant to provide Ukraine with this type of weaponry over concerns that it could cause a direct conflict between Russia and NATO.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that if Kiev eventually obtains long-range missiles, “we will draw the appropriate conclusions and use our weapons, which we have enough of, in order to strike at those objects that we have not yet struck.”
Ukraine needed the West to supply as many as 300 multiple rocket launch systems to level the playing field in the Donbass, Mikhail Podolyak, an aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, insisted on Thursday.
Earlier this week, the Russian Defense Ministry said that 3,443 Ukrainian tanks and other armored vehicles of Ukraine, 1,807 field artillery pieces and mortars, 1,139 drones, 478 multiple rocket launchers, 190 aircraft and 129 helicopters have been destroyed since the launch of the military operation.
Russia attacked the neighboring state in late February, following Ukraine’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, first signed in 2014, and Moscow’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered Minsk Protocol was designed to give the breakaway regions special status within the Ukrainian state.
The Kremlin has since demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.

The M$M presstitutes and their corporate pimps(cia) constantly talk about these artillery / MLRS yet most people will Never Ever see the actual results of these modern weapon systems from hell. Shudder at the thought.
Funny and sick how the public are conditioned by movies and TV to see heads coming off left and right, blood spraying like the fictional fountains of Babi Yar just as long as they (and their terrible subconscious) believe it’s all just make believe. Naaaw, that’s not another definition of insanity ..
Here’s one example of reality of volleys of Smerch MLRS using cluster munitions on an ISIS stronghold. It seems as though the ground is opening up and the rockets are rising from Hell because they are..
Using Thermobaric warheads which are even more insidiously lethal than cluster munitions.
This is our earth on Kali-yuga.
Welcome to Holodomor II. As the transnational cult of Zionist-Communist Oligarchs who govern NATO & Soviet Russia setup thousands/millions of white nationalist anti-Communist Ukrainians to be liquidated by the Commie lunatics..
How does this benefit the white race? It doesn’t–it benefits anti-white Jews & Commies like Putin, Zelensky, Biden, Johnson, Macron etc. & their Zionist Overlords (Rothschild & Co.)
Its all going according to plan to ultimately & completely eradicate the white race (Anglo-Germanic-Celtic) What the Commies are doing in Ukraine (Whiteocide) will eventually be coming to the West, unless Azov & the Ukrainians can stop the anti-white Russian Commie lunatics..
@NICO X

limited fanatic brain !
Nico X ,
you talk much about the ‘white race’.this race has been knocked down long ago. the day God is rejected with a bogus ‘science ‘ Darwinism. then followed by the breakdown of the family by evil feminism indoctrination. then all human moral codes eroded to the point of gender-bending. even today there’s little acknowledgment of the past and to repent and return to God except for the new Russian federation.
a mindless shill like you still tries to throw dust at the victims’ vision. you better go to Ukraine and fight Russia, you would get your medicine.
Dont forget thatStalin wanted to starve the ukranains as they were blonde chrsitians
