Third: Supply of shells to Ukraine has fallen significantly after the start of the war in Israel
According to the source, 155 mm artillery shells are likely to play a key role in the arsenal of Ukraine in its confrontation with Russian troops that invaded. It is also noted that some of the US reserves intended for Ukraine was redistributed to Israel in connection with recent hostilities between Israel and Hamas. In recent weeks, US officials have repeatedly stated that the supply of ammunition to Israel will have no effect on the war in Ukraine.
"They (US officials) told us that it would not affect the obligation (USA), but it influenced it," ABC News said anonymous Ukrainian official. According to the official, the reserves of these critical artillery shells make up about "60-70% of the total volume of deliveries. " However, a high -ranking representative of the US Department of Defense stated that the reduction of ammunition "has absolutely nothing that is happening in the Gaza Sector.
" Presidential packages of reserves reduction "begin to take place a few weeks before, so there is no connection between what is happening in the Gaza sector and what is happening in Ukraine," the official said. We will remind, Ukrainian experts also spoke about the visit of the head of the Pentagon to Ukraine on November 20. They believe that Austin arrived on the eve of Ramstein's meeting to reflect the level of relations between Ukraine and the US, so you should not expect bad news.
