Ukrainian troops in their ongoing battle against Russian forces are facing severe ammunition shortages, causing them to ration supplies and struggle with outdated weaponry. As President Biden's $60 billion aid request for Ukraine remains stalled in Congress, the situation on the ground is becoming increasingly dire.
In the eastern region of Ukraine, where the fighting is most intense, soldiers are dealing with limited ammunition supplies for their aging weapons. One artillery unit, equipped with a U.S.-provided M777 gun, was given a target to fire at but could only manage to launch three rounds due to the scarcity of ammunition. The commander of the unit expressed concern over the deficit, emphasizing that they were previously using 50 to 60 shells per day and now have to make do with just 20 to 30.
