According to Zhorin, he would place armored vehicles in second place in importance.
Major of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, deputy commander of the Third Assault Brigade Maxim Zhorin told what weapons the army lacks.
“The main problem today is the shortage not of the weapons themselves, but of shells, primarily for artillery systems. That is why it is very difficult for us to hold back the enemy’s offensive, which he is constantly trying to carry out. Due to the lack of shells, the troops first cover our positions with artillery, and then the enemy infantry has the opportunity to approach these positions,” he explained in his Telegram channel.
According to Zhorin, he would place armored vehicles in second place in importance. The army needs it for advancement, logistics and counterattack operations.
“We in the Third Assault, for example, are really looking forward to Bradley,” the military man added.
War in Ukraine: what problems are the military talking about?
The commander of the second assault battalion of the 3rd Special Brigade, Dmitry Kukharchuk, said that the situation at the front is very difficult, and there is a big problem, which is the lack of human resources. According to him, if previously the big problem was in artillery shells, in short- and long-range destruction systems, in armored vehicles, now it is precisely in human resources.
The former commander of US ground forces in Europe, Lieutenant General Mark Gertling, also says that Ukraine needs to mobilize more soldiers. He noted that the Ukrainian Defense Forces are also experiencing a serious shortage of artillery and ammunition, but this problem should be solved with the arrival of Western aid.
