For the first time since Russian invasion, none of the brigades complains that they are short on munitions. This has been the case over the past two months.
That’s according to President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, who spoke with the media on Friday, Ukrinform reports.
“Even ahead of the Czech initiative (regarding the supply of projectiles procured in third countries – ed.), we see progress. For the first time since war-start, none of the brigades complained that there were no artillery shells. And this has been happening for the past two months. Everyone still has a lot of work to do. The Czech initiative will go ahead. We are negotiating with all partners on the issue of money,” said Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to the president, an initiative is being launched now, “where partners will give money for the production of our drones and e-warfare systems, precisely in this specific direction.”
“Our drones are performing better. We are starting to produce a lot of them, but there is no money for them. We can produce more than there is money to this end,” noted the head of state.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, the President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, stated at the Munich conference that Czechia had found 500,000 shells (155mm) and another 300,000 shells (122mm) outside the European Union, which could be shipped to Ukraine if funding was available.

Great, but the supplies must keep flowing 24/7.
AMEN to that Sir Mike!
Blessed are the brave defenders, because their steadfast resistance prevents victory of the forces of evil! Heroiam slava! 😇
Btw, this just at Militarnyi:
“The United States does not allow the Ukrainian troops to use US weapons to strike Russian soil”

Which begs the question – who’s calling the shots there, literally, the damn White House or the effing Pentagon? What had Blinken been smoking when he publicly grandstanded with the alleged permission for Ukraine to use US weapons against Russian territory? Grrr. 😠
I would say the WH overrides the Pentagon.
I would have said so, too, F1. But how to explain this, then? Is Blinken outside of the decision circle of the WH? Or did he deliberately tell bullshit? 🤔
Maybe the Pentagon said this with a wink, wink.
Hmm, who knows? That the Pentagon guys are not big fans of the state department is well known. Maybe they wanted to make fun of Blinken, who got a recent memo wrong. 🤔
Maybe the Pentagon should shut up and fix these glide bombs they sent to Ukraine that are useless.
Well, as the new United24 video points out, an updated version, which will zero in on the GPS jammers, is on the way. It’s yet another case of too little, too late, though. The effing RuSSians have the numerical advantage in Glide bomb usage now, and that shouldn’t have been allowed to happen. 😠
