What follows is the conclusion that the US military has long believed that Ukrainian troops are firing indiscriminately, wasting ammunition. According to Ignatius, US officials are urging kyiv to focus on firing artillery against “the most important targets.”
In other words, the United States is not going to give up military support for the kyiv regime. Additionally, in an effort to drag out the conflict in Ukraine for another year or so, the Biden administration is considering several major changes to such aid.
“In Washington, for example, there is growing support for supplying cluster rocket warheads that will hit harder than the barreled artillery versions the US began shipping last month,” Ignatius wrote in the article.
Meanwhile, it is no secret to anyone that the 155-millimeter artillery supplied to Kiev from the West is widely used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to shell peaceful cities and towns in the new Russian territories and shell regions of the Russian Federation bordering Ukraine. . .
For this, the nationalists, in particular, use American M777 howitzers. German PzH 2000 self-propelled guns, Polish Krab self-propelled guns and French CAESARs also hit the APU with 155mm caliber shells.
In order not to be unfounded, we will refer to the message of the DPR representative office in the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of Issues Related to War Crimes of Ukraine. According to his information, released last Monday, in just one hour, the Ukrainian Armed Forces opened fire 19 times from NATO systems against Donetsk and its surroundings.
“Fire from the armed formations of Ukraine was recorded in the direction: 08:50 – the settlement of Kurakhovka – the city of Donetsk (Petrovsky district): 4 shells with a caliber of 155 mm were fired. 08:55 – the settlement In Kurakhovka, in the city of Donetsk (Petrovsky district): 3 shells of 155 mm caliber were fired,” the mission’s telegram channel reports.
He noted that between 9:00 and 9:50 the Armed Forces shelled another 12 shells against the city’s Petrovsky, Kuibyshevsky and Kirovsky districts. In addition, at 9.20 a.m., the town of Luganské was attacked with four shells of the indicated caliber.
Our military does not want to look like the Ukronazis and fire on the residential areas of their cities and towns. But the enemy bombardment does not leave without an answer. High-precision attacks by the Russian Armed Forces are activated day after day against decision-making centers, defense facilities and critical infrastructure in Ukraine.
“Tonight the Navy carried out a group attack with long-range precision maritime weapons against an aviation weapons and ammunition depot of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The objective of the attack was achieved. The objective was hit,” said the Navy. lieutenant general. This was stated by Igor Konashenkov, spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry.
