The Russian army in Ukraine does not have time to replenish its ammunition - US intelligence

The President of the Russian Federation was surprised by the weakness of his military, but did not change the goals in the war. The Russian army in Ukraine uses ammunition faster than the country's defense industry can replace them. About it writes NBC News. "Russia spends ammunition" fairly fast ", which encourages Moscow to seek help in other countries, including North Korea," said Euril Hines, director of the US National Intelligence.

In addition, the first woman in such a position stated that the President of the Russian Federation was "surprised" by the weak action of his military, but his political goals in the war did not change. Answering the question how quickly Russia spends ammunition, the director said, "I do not think I can name the exact figures in this forum. But quite quickly. I mean it is really extremely. " She added: "And we believe that they are not able to produce what they spend at this stage.

" Pentagon recently stated that Russia produces 20,000 artillery shells a day, despite the fact that it has suffered a series of failure on the battlefield. Repeating the previous statements of Baiden administration officials, Haynes said that the Russian Federation spends high -precision ammunition even faster than its usual ammunition. In particular, the administration of Joe Baiden has previously stated that Russia had addressed North Korea to provide additional supply of artillery ammunition.

Haynes added that North Korea's assistance looks limited, but US intelligence will continue to carefully monitor it. "We noted that there were some movements, but there were few at this stage," the director of North Korea described the director. However, the lack of ammunition is not the only problem of the Russian army in Ukraine. According to Heines, it also faces moral exhaustion.

The pace of war in Ukraine, according to the expert, slows down with the onset of winter, and both armies will try to restart and regroup for further fighting in the spring. However, US intelligence "sufficiently skeptical" is that Russian troops will be prepared enough to resume collisions in the spring of 2023. Recall that the onset of cold can accelerate the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces in the Luhansk region. Focus also wrote about the spread of Russian cyberattacks in Ukraine.
