"Ukraine's Artillery Needs: A Dire Cost of Dithering and Growing Catastrophic Shortages"

Ukraine's much-hyped counteroffensive against Russia is over due to a catastrophic shortage of artillery and ammunition, exacerbated by US lawmakers' delay in providing military aid. As a result, Ukraine is forced to switch to a defensive operation, while Russian forces continue to grow stronger. The strain on artillery has led to a shift in strategy to conserve ammo, with Ukraine turning to drones to supplement its weapons capabilities. While European allies are attempting to fill in the gaps, the aid may not be enough to help Ukraine beat back Russian forces without additional support from the US.
