Russia's ability to outmatch Ukraine with artillery barrages on the battlefield has significantly reduced to just 1.5 Russian rounds for every Ukrainian shell fired back, Western officials have said.
This compares with Russian forces launching at least five times as many artillery rounds as Ukraine could in the war previously - with the ratio at times much higher even than that.
The Western officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, put the levelling out down to a "wide variety of factors".
These factors include limitations in Russia's defence production lines, difficulties with transporting more rounds to the frontline by rail, and strikes by Ukrainian drones against strategic stockpiles of Russian and North Korean ammunition supplies inside Russia.
In addition, they said Western supplies of ammunition were helping to bolster Ukraine's armoury.
However, vast quantities of Russian glide bombs appear to be compensating for the reduction in the country's advantage on the artillery front, the Western officials signalled.

And the front keeps marching west while the missile and drone attacks are ever-increasing.
“The Western officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity...”
A phrase you NEVER SEE in RT.com, where they only report on what people say on the record (as Western media did in the past, back when they had some credibility).
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
“…significantly reduced to just 1.5 Russian rounds for every Ukrainian shell fired back…”
So Russia is doing 50% better across all artillery used versus Ukraine.
You must be the retired Ghost of Kiev. I’m immensely enjoying the fact that your home, the Ukraine is getting its just deserts for being a crooked, thieving pest hole.
Embrace the suck.
With such a great advantage, why hasn’t Russia captured a single Ukrainian regional capital city in 3 years?
Volume does not mean better.
Russia was shooting 10 shells for every 1 Ukrainian shell at the begging of the war.
Russian artillery has decreased to only. 1.5 shells per Ukrainian shell.
With such a great advantage, why hasn’t Russia captured a single Ukrainian regional capital city in 3 years?
Did they lose a few? Cities certainly. Might not be ‘Capital Cities’
They did get the North Koreans to help them retake the lost Russian territory.
Russia hasn’t captured any meaningful town or city in 3 years. Just some villages that they’ve bombed to rubble.
Hey Ivan, if Ukraine is really as corrupt as you say, then why is your side having such a hard time winning. If the UKes are stealing so much of the aide they are getting then that makes your side look completely incompetent. Doesn’t it?
“With such a great advantage, why hasn’t Russia captured a single Ukrainian regional capital city in 3 years?”
Russia is fighting the Ukraine, NATO and America with a combine population of over 800 million and one of the largest expenditures on military equipment on the planet? What do I win moron?
Ukraine was able to defend their capital. That's a victory in itself.
Why would anyone want to root for Russia after their atrocities in the Ukrainian Capital?
My side is the American citizen and our taxpayer money, what is your side Vladimir?
No Time For Sergei Ants
The Ukrainian soldiers who defended Snake Island in 2022 are considered heroes for their actions during the Russian invasion of Ukraine: a Ukrainian soldier famously told a Russian warship “Russian warship, go f*** yourself”.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy posthumously awarded the soldiers the title of Hero of Ukraine, Ukraine’s highest award.
Then the Ukrainian Navy announced that all of the soldiers were alive and detained by the Russian Navy.
Some of the soldiers were returned to Ukraine in a prisoner exchange in March 2022. One of the soldiers, Roman Hrybov, was given a medal for his actions by the Governor of Cherkasy Oblast.
Your desperation is showing.
