🇺🇲🇺🇦 An increase in the supply of Western weapons to Kiev is unlikely to happen, as the United States takes a cautious stance, and Europe’s stocks are “running out”, reports Bloomberg.
There is no evidence that European countries are preparing to send heavy weapons to Kiev. Arms deliveries from Italy slowed down in July, Ukraine was “crowded out” from the government’s priority list, the agency notes.

▪️ Ukrainian formations have a problem with ammunition for both Soviet and Western weapons. Less than half of the missiles previously imported for the US HIMARS launchers are still available. The ammunition is stored in the cities in specially designated depots. Delivery is made by civilian buses or trucks.
There are practically no shells left for the Grad MLRS (two launchers at the site) and the D-30 howitzers. The ammunition supplied from Poland is almost all in an unusable condition due to inadequate storage conditions.
▪️ Russian artillery and MLRS, as well as aviation, continue to shell heavily AFU positions in the “gut” and at the crossing points. Two battalion commanders of an unidentified AFU unit were eliminated in an LMUR strike on a Kirpi BMP.
That’s gonna leave a mark.
