The armed forces of Ukraine "fired the last shell" from their warehouses in the spring of 2022. The former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valery Zlozhny, wrote about this in a column for the Ukrainian Pravda.
"The material base remains important and decisive in formulating doctrines and strategies and is the basis for planning military operations. At the end of April - the beginning of May 2022, the armed forces of Ukraine fired their last shell, which was in our warehouses," Zlozhny writes.
He noted that at that time the conflict only "heated up" and everything supplied to Ukraine by its partners "almost entered the battle". After that, Zeluzhny continued, "all our plans and operational capabilities depended on the supply of weapons from our partners."
Russia condemns any Western aid to Ukraine, saying it will prolong the conflict and not change its results.
