It began after the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck Russian warehouses.

The Russian army fighting in Ukraine does not have enough shells for active combat operations, said Z-blogger Yegor Guzenko, writes The Moscow Times..

“I would like to raise the very important issue of the shell famine in the troops. This is not just locally somewhere, but is now felt in different directions and is gaining an unhealthy tendency again for all sorts of criminal quotas, according to which you can just go fishing, and not storm some populated areas,” he said.

According to Guzenko, this issue is especially acute in those sections of the front where “active assault operations” are taking place. “The 98th Airborne Division has this problem, as do a number of other units. I will not name them, because there are too many …> Such problems are currently gaining mass momentum,” he emphasized.

Guzenko suggested that the situation was influenced by the liquidation of large ammunition depots by Ukrainian forces, for example, in Tikhoretsk in Krasnodar Territory and Toropets in the Tver region. Estonian intelligence noted that as a result of just one strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on September 18, Russia lost a two-month supply of ammunition (750 thousand pieces) with an average expenditure of 10 thousand each week.
