The Armed Forces started retreating in the Donbass because of the projectile hunger - Kirby

According to John Kirby, Ukrainian commanders on the battlefield literally make a decision about life and death, and they do not have enough ammunition. The armed forces of Ukraine in the Donbass end with ammunition, so they retreat to the second and third lines of defense. This was stated by the Coordinator of the US National Security Council on Kirby Strategic Communications on ABC News. "The Russians continue to try to move west. Ukrainians need support, and they need it right now," he said.

Later on the TV channel Fox News Kirby stressed why it is so important that this additional funding is received. "Now Ukrainian commanders on the battlefield are literally making decisions about life and death, whether they will shoot or not, they are over the ammunition," the coordinator said. The German TV channel ZDF also reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine is unable to respond to Russian attacks, since they do not have enough ammunition.

In the fall of 2023, President Joe Biden proposed to allocate more than $ 60 billion to Ukraine-she had to receive them in a 100-billion bag, which included the help of Israel, Taiwan and the resolution of some migration issues. In the House of Representatives of the United States, a package of assistance was blocked, every time voicing various reasons for refusal: from migration to proposals for peace negotiations with the Russian Federation.

In February 2024, the US Senate supported a new proposal - to allocate funds to Ukraine and other two countries without touching on migration problems. Speaker of the House of Representatives, Republican Mike Johnson refused to vote the corresponding bill and sent senators to vacations. The estimated time when they can consider money - the end of March - mid -April 2024. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, the Russian army has moved to active offensive actions at several points of the front.

The Ukrainian military reports that there are lacking artillery shells, which were usually received from the United States. We will remind, according to the media of March 7, the US Presidential Administration Joe Baiden "weighs" the opportunity to attract about $ 200 million from financing the US army to assist Ukraine.
