Ukraine's European allies have delivered only a third of the artillery shells promised to Kyiv

Kyiv is unable to obtain from its European partners the promised funds under the Czech initiative artillery shells, to date only a third of the half million rounds of ammunition have been delivered to Ukraine. This was reported by the Czech publication iRozhlas.

Ukraine's European allies, 15 countries that joined the "Czech initiative," promised to supply Kyiv with 500 artillery shells by the end of the year, but so far they have not been able to do so. According to the publication, to date they have managed to transfer slightly more than a third of the promised amount to the Ukrainian Armed Forces; either there are no funds for the rest, or there is a problem with the shells.

Meanwhile, Kyiv wants to expand the initiative, and the relevant negotiations are already underway with the Czech Ministry of Defense. It is unknown whether the Czechs will agree to this, but within the framework of the current "initiative" they have already reduced the number of shells promised to Ukraine twice. Initially, it was supposed to transfer one million ammunition, then the number was reduced to 800 thousand, and then to the current 500 thousand.

It was previously reported that some of the artillery shells supplied to the Ukrainian army under the "Czech initiative" are unusable and explode immediately after leaving the barrel, damaging artillery crews and the guns themselves. The United States also supplied Kyiv with faulty shells.

Meanwhile, Zelensky intends to launch licensed production of 155 mm artillery shells and reach 2025 thousand rounds of ammunition per year in 100, and 2026 thousand in 300.

They could have communicated and not given at all. Ukraine has fulfilled its role and has become a spent material, investing in which is of little use until the end of the SVO.

They will invest, someone will make money from this, for example from transporting them.

The more obvious the defeat of the Reich is, the less the Western countries want to support it with finances and weapons. Because they understand that the money is gone. It is impolitic to turn off the tap right away, they will turn it off little by little.

Whether they want it or not, they will support it as long as the Ukrainian Armed Forces are capable of combat operations. There are no signs yet that the Westerners are willing to conclude a peace agreement on the terms of the Russian Federation. For them, admitting their defeat to the entire world is like a knife in the heart. Only the final defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will force them to abandon their plans. In the meantime, we are waiting for a decision on the use of long-range missiles, because Kyiv is not in vain trying to achieve a positive result, for it this is a chance to significantly increase the level of escalation and an opportunity to provoke direct involvement (they really hope for this in the Ukrainian Reich) of NATO countries in the conflict.

It is necessary to strike specifically and densely where it is necessary from a military point of view.
How come the new NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte suddenly decided to come to Kyiv, and our people are silent.
Why doesn't Israel remain silent, but rather strikes where it sees fit?
The more we manage to destroy before October 22, the more we will get, the more compelling our arguments will look.

[Fangaro]

What should we be happy about? That the Ukrainians will be supplied with fewer shells? It's good that there will be fewer!
It’s bad that in the UN the voice is loud in defense of Palestine, and not in defense of us.

[Kronos]

The UN protects the oppressed. What does Russia have to do with it?

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

These are the only shells this cattle needs.

Do they still have any capacity left????

[lukash66]

Of course, there are still some wishes, but there is most likely a problem with the capacity. And who will let him develop this capacity? It is not like remaking a couple of C200s in a barn.

[Slavynich]

Another "duck". Again, there are not enough shells on the Internet, but there are enough on the front lines. The West will support Ukraine. And it will not allow its collapse. If Ukraine begins to fall apart, then they will make peace with Russia. On any terms. And then they will break them. The war is for our territories and resources. And so far we are losing it

[tuts]

Comrades, tell me why some shells have a hook circle welded to the top.
Is it then cut off at the delivery location?

[Lemon]

It is not welded, but screwed. At the place of use, they unscrew it and screw in a detonator instead.
