General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: The Ukrainian army is experiencing problems with ammunition and fuel

Despite the loud statements about the readiness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to repel "Russian aggression" sounding periodically from Kiev, in fact the Ukrainian army is not ready to conduct long-term hostilities. This conclusion follows from the statement of the Colonel-General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Igor Kolesnik, who reported a large shortage of ammunition and fuel and lubricants.

The Ukrainian general, speaking on the air of the Apostrophe channel, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are experiencing a shortage of protective equipment, mainly helmets and bulletproof vests, large-caliber artillery shells and fuel for equipment. According to him, only the collective West, which supplies military aid to Ukraine, can help in this matter.

(...) there is practically no strategic and operational stock of fuels and lubricants. For some types of ammunition shortage

- he said.

Meanwhile, while the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov almost every day publishes joyful posts on social networks about the supply of new weapons from the United States and Great Britain, the allies are in fact supplying obsolete weapon and ammunition, with an emphasis on anti-tank systems and small-caliber cartridges. Considering how many ATGMs have arrived in Ukraine, there is a feeling that the United States is preparing the Armed Forces of Ukraine to repel massive tank attacks, where Russian tanks will move in columns on the offensive.

The only "bright spot" against this background for the Armed Forces of Ukraine was drawn by the Czech Republic, which announced the transfer of a batch of 122-mm artillery shells to Kiev, free of charge. We are talking about four thousand shells, but this is not enough, especially for conducting long-term military operations against the Russian army, which Kiev is preparing for. There are no other options yet, since it is expensive to buy shells in large quantities, and they have not managed to organize their own large-scale production in Ukraine.

[ancestors from Don]

The sowing campaign is coming soon, the tractor drivers will need fuel, the tankers will have to wait.

[Evil543]

This is our sowing season, but how many farms will survive this winter?

[Alexander 3]

Banderlogs want another sowing campaign in Donbass. Well, what they sow is what they reap.

[Alekseev]

But banderlog should understand that a large-scale invasion of troops, i.e. there will be no infantry and tanks, there are no fools.
Yes, and there are no soldiers in the Ground Forces in sufficient numbers for an invasion. Here is an "invasion" in the form of pinpoint, "neat, but strong" strikes of high-precision operational-tactical missiles, MLRS, aviation, it is quite possible to get if you stubbornly strive for this ... On the ground
work for the Donetsk formations and, possibly, the MTR.
With bayonets, as Bonoparte said, you can achieve almost everything, but you can’t sit on them ...
"Intrude", i.e. those who live there should arrange order in Ukraine, albeit using the moment - the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass, and if there are not enough of them, "then our faith is in vain"

[210ox]

The tractor driver will transfer to the tanks. Seeding is not relevant. Achressor steps on Nenko..

[Stepan S]

and how many households will survive this winter?

And what can happen to the farm in winter? It will freeze, right?

[private person]

tractor drivers will need fuel, tankers will wait.

So there is no fuel either for tanks or for tractors. Old Man Luka limited the supply of fuels and lubricants, and oil is becoming more expensive, but there are no pennies. Gasoline and gas are not ammunition for them, which is easier to transfer to the country than to spend money on their disposal.

[Comandor777]

That's for sure, with such prices for gas and oil, the Ukrainians themselves will come to surrender in a couple of years. Yes, and they will crawl to the Donbass on their knees to apologize, give coal, otherwise firewood has risen in price

Mineral fertilizers have not risen in price too much, so that the agrarian "superpower" has crept up on all sides.

[Thrifty]

As for ammunition, it’s easy, as you poke your head, we’ll send both missiles and shells under our own power - just have time to catch ....

[knn54]

- in fact, the Ukrainian army is not ready for long-term hostilities.
To the portisan actions, too, they cut down everything that was possible.
And the Commander-in-Chief is in no hurry to plant (as promised) a billion seedlings.

[SKVichyakow]

So it is so, but if Lukashenka does not hurry up again. So many times already mowed.

[Jacket in stock]

According to him, only the collective West can help in this matter,

Ha.
We've heard this somewhere before....
And, well, of course '- "foreign countries will help us."
But what about their independence?
Well, they tell us all the time about an independent independent state ...
And where?

And then they will say: "Give me more! It will not be enough!" Ungrateful! Germany has allocated 5 helmets to you! True, they have not yet been delivered, however, they say that they are second-hand. But the fact is that they promised. And everything is not enough! FEW!!!

[rocket757]

Well, how, at least someone, as a state, began to live better, sitting on handouts from the "big brother"?
The times when they created "showcases of prosperity" have passed, now the debts will have to be repaid.

[Graz]

fuel supplies from the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus must be completely blocked not only by ours, but also by transit

[Mountain shooter]

So what do they have there, one BC per barrel? This is not enough for a day of fighting, and then what?
It seems to me more and more that the preparation for the attack on the LDNR is the same props ... "They killed the arrow", they piled up the boys, handed out the trunks - but there are no cartridges! And this waiting, you know what, in the field camps IN WINTER, cannot last forever. Spring is ahead. Drown in the mud up to their ears!

[Stepan S]

And this waiting, you know what, in the field camps IN WINTER, cannot last forever. Spring is ahead. Drown in the mud up to their ears!

I want to see these camps, their condition especially in spring. I remember in 2015-2016 they posted photos and videos from their landfills and the state of social and cultural life there, except for a layer of dirt, nothing else was noticed.

[Avior]

Solved problems.
The Germans promised helmets, the Czechs shells, and fuel and lubricants are always ready to sell Lukashenka, if anything.

[Stepan S]

shells are Czechs, and fuel and lubricants are always ready to sell Lukashenka

And how many of those shells will the Czechs sell? a couple of pieces per barrel? And how long does it take for delivery? And the father of fuel and lubricants will immediately close the tap as soon as the shells fly.

[Avior]

And the father of fuel and lubricants will immediately close the tap as soon as the shells fly.

Sure?
The shells have already been flying for seven years, and the crane is in place.

[Stepan S]

The shells have already been flying for seven years, and the crane is in place.

So they fly, but no one wants to admit this unfortunate situation.

[Servisinzhener]

4000 122mm projectiles only seem to be a lot. when you start dividing by the number of D-30s in Ukraine, it turns out very modestly. Taking into account the rate of fire of the shells, it will be enough for a 7-minute artillery preparation.

[igor.borov775]

Gentlemen yesterday they showed Solovyov, he tortured Lukashenko with questions, Batko said that the decision to stop supplies was decided by Nenko together with the PVV.

[Idunavs]

“If you [Ukraine] collide with Russia, we will not be with you. We will cut off all deliveries not only of fuel and lubricants, together with Russia we will also cut off electricity,” Lukashenka said.
Doesn't seem to lie.

[Avior]

He is not lying, he is simply flexible in his statements ....

[Arkadich]

Why is Dad here? We ourselves sell coal, fuels and lubricants, fertilizers to Ukraine, what prevents us from turning off the tap? What answer? Just do not shout in unison, that's right - money.
And deliveries are not in tons, not smugglers are carrying. Officially companies, many with state assets.

[Stepan S]

And deliveries are not in tons, not smugglers are carrying. Officially companies, many with state assets.

We have no war with Ukraine. Civil war, we do not sell military goods, and everything else - there is no reason not to sell.

[Arkadich]

I agree. I answered the previous commentators on the question of what the Old Man has to do with it. As for trading, I think trading can also be done in different ways. The example of China in response to criticism includes a wide range of actions ranging from bureaucratization, dragging out to breaking agreements and sanctions. We lack political will, we all want to be good for everyone.

[igor.borov775]

Well, why Lithuania this month has already received a response from the Old Man. He is not very joyful, sadness is already gnawing And why are we.

[Arkadich]

Yes, there they threw each other, who can no longer understand, but I think Belarus is the loser. Lithuania is a transit country, especially it has not lost much, especially since it lives mainly on the money of the EEC, they will cry more, for protection from Russia.

[APASUS]

And the weapons and equipment supplied by the West require well-established logistics, the supply of spare parts, fuel and lubricants and maintenance. All this is for the currency, given that the equipment was donated, but there is no knowledge, then it will not live long.

[your vsr 66-67]

As always! Give, give, and give again... How they love freebies on the outskirts

[75 Sergey]

It all comes down to begging for money - we don’t have that, we don’t have it today, give us money, we’ll buy what we need ourselves.

[sergo1914]

Oh, for a long time in the Czech Republic, ammunition depots did not explode ...

[igor.borov775]

But it is necessary to take out the Ukrainians for sure.

[dimy44]

Ammunition is not enough. And when the warehouses were burned in order to write off the looted, what did they think about?

It was a pity that there was no river nearby. So would "ends in the water" quietly. I had to blow it up! )))

[singless]

do not be afraid to send helmets to you soon there will be where to poop

[Kamchatsky]

I can offer an option for used units: a helmet from Germany, used.

[riwas]

Not 122 mm, but 152 mm, which are in short supply in Ukraine.

[Slasherrus]

Well, very good if so. Otherwise, these "friends" may even launch an offensive at the behest of the owners, since Russia did not invade, as they planned

[Nikolaevich I]

Here you go ! Just yesterday I read about the lack of grubs for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, how did the crisis with fuel and lubricants jump up! In general, "the horses are not fed, the lads are unharnessed ..."!

[Egoza]

Quote: Nikolaevich I

In general, "the horses are not fed, the lads are unharnessed.

And in general, here the general complains that the salary is given out less, as promised by the authorities. What officers, what generals, in short, rob their poor.

[GELEZNII_KAPUT]

I’ll tell you, our lads are absolutely global. Shaped animals! Like me. Division - in! Mord ... Muzzle one and a half hundred typed. In earlier times, there was more, but the pan of the ataman had a dumb gold reserve, and the lads began to scatter in different directions. And they’re doing it right, because if this goes on, I’ll also scatter in different directions.

[Arkadich]

This information is either disinformation, or a way to get more help or a situation for this case for Zelensky, who dared to oppose the general line of the United States to go to the slaughter.

[voyaka uh]

It's true.
During intense hostilities, shells run out quickly.
Precision weapons run out even faster.
Russia ran out of Caliber after a month of shelling by ISIS. Then 3 months the plant renewed the stock.
France ran out of missiles after two weeks of fighting in Libya.
Etc.

[rotmistr60]

The Ukrainian army is experiencing problems with ammunition and fuel

But if Belarus had not sold fuel and lubricants there, then the problems would have been even greater. Yes, and our trade with a country that considers us an enemy and is not capable of anything but dirty tricks against us, needs to be reviewed for a long time.

[Elephant]

Russians are actively trading through Belarus, for whom money does not smell (

[rotmistr60]

Did you read this in my comment?

Yes, and our trade with a country that considers us an enemy ...

This is the answer to your two posts right away.

[Elephant]

Have Russian businessmen already stopped supplying fuel and lubricants to Ukraine?

[Sergey Tankist]

Fuel and lubricants most likely went to the side (after all, these are not some kind of Javelins). The Americans know this, and therefore they don’t supply ..

[Dzafdet]

Why did they leave so many weapons at all? Here Yeltsin made a mistake ...

[tolmachiev51]

There is a terrible deficit in the brains in your country !!! Although, jesters and clowns do not need them.

It would be nice if they came to this themselves. And we definitely don't need to.
