[Exclusive] The EU has failed to fulfill its shell promises! Ukraine is short of ammunition, and Western support angers Russia!
Shock! According to the latest news, the EU failed to supply Ukraine with 1 million artillery shells on time, what is going on?!
Russian military expert Igor Korotchenko broke the news that the EU is facing production bottlenecks and cannot meet Ukraine's growing demand for ammunition! Amazing details that sparked a global buzz!
Looking back at history, the EU high-level ** revealed that it had previously promised to provide 1 million shells, but only 300,000 were delivered! The German defense minister even admitted that the EU could not fulfill its commitments as scheduled!
The latest news shows that the EU is expected to deliver only 600,000 shells by March 2024, which is simply staggering! What exactly are Western countries dragging on?
The analysis points out that the EU is in a hurry to increase its military production capacity, but it will take up to 9-15 months! No wonder the inability to deliver on promises in time is really worrying!
Ukraine is facing a severe shortage of ammunition, while the West is building new workshops and recruiting workers, which makes one wonder: Is the support of Western countries for Ukraine only in words?
More crucially, should Ukraine rely on Western support? It is reported that Ukraine is planning to use long-range ** strikes on the hinterland of Russian territory, is this the wisest option?
It is worth mentioning that Ukraine has already begun to rely on sabotage on the territory of Russia, will this increase regional tensions? Russia has arrested several Ukrainians** on its territory, and the situation is precarious!
Although the EU cannot deliver artillery shells in time, India, Serbia, Pakistan and other countries have advanced military production capacity, can they help Ukraine?
India's arms manufacturing has gone to the world, and this is perhaps the best way for Ukraine to solve the ammunition crisis! Is India willing to provide support to Ukraine? This is a focus of attention!
It cannot be ignored that Europe is actively searching for ammunition in global stockpiles, and even cooperating with Armenia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries, does this mean that Ukraine's support path will be more diversified?
How should Ukraine respond in this turbulent time? Will Western countries be able to really help Ukraine get out of its predicament? These questions are not only about the future of Ukraine, but also affect the global pattern!
Korotchenko's analysis believes that the EU will eventually fulfill its commitments through other means, such as importing ** from third countries and then providing them to Ukraine. He pointed out that many countries have advanced production of ** ammunition, such as India, Serbia, Pakistan, and these countries maintain good relations with Russia. In his opinion, even if these countries do not directly supply Ukraine with ammunition, it will still be possible to do so through intermediaries. Korotchenko suggested that it is necessary for Russia to maintain contacts and communication with foreign partners, security services, politicians, and ** departments, to make Russia's position clear, and Russia's partners should continue to understand Russia's concerns.
In fact, the German weekly "Der Spiegel" published a report on February 25 local time titled "Europe is desperately looking for ammunition". According to the report, EU countries** are searching for stockpiles of ammunition around the world, such as India, the United Arab Emirates, and Armenia. Allegedly, the UAE has a stock of 155-mm shells with Armenia, which were recently purchased by a European country, most likely Poland or Slovenia. The UAE has good relations with Russia. In December last year, Putin visited the United Arab Emirates escorted by four fighter jets. Armenia was Russia's longest-standing ally. However, in recent years, Armenia has become closer to Europe and the United States, especially after the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Armenia, in fact, has gone out of Russia's orbit. In addition, India has a large stock of artillery shells. According to reports, Germany is in secret negotiations with India on the supply of ammunition to Ukraine, and Germany hopes to buy shells from India through "intermediaries". Given India's "strong" relations with Russia, India wants such negotiations to be kept secret, the report said. Since it is a "secret negotiation", why does Germany **still have to come out**? Is it sowing discord? Or is it humiliating India's "shrewdness"? At the beginning of January 2024, foreign media reported that India's ammunition had arrived on the battlefield in Ukraine. ** and ** circulating of the use of Indian-made shells by the Ukrainian army. Allegedly, the ammunition is Indian ammunition *** Munitions India Limited, Mil) produced "He Erfb BT" shells. The MIL is part of India's defense department and can produce 155mm, 105mm and 125mm artillery shells. According to the report, although India** denies providing ammunition to Ukraine, it is very likely that it will be provided to EU countries (allegedly Slovenia) through a third-party intermediary, and then resold to Ukraine. India not only dreams of becoming a major manufacturing country, but also dreams of becoming a major exporting country, regardless of whether it is India's own or joint venture or wholly foreign-owned. In recent years, India's arms have opened up many Southeast Asian customers, such as the Philippines, which has purchased missiles jointly developed by India and Russia and manufactured in India. In addition, drones produced by India's joint venture have also returned to Israel to serve Israel's war effort. India delivered dozens of Hermes 900 long-range drones to Israel, according to India's TV900 Hindi on February 7. The drone is manufactured for a joint venture between India and Israel in India. The report claims that this will help meet "Israel's needs in the Israeli-Hamas war." The delivery of the Hermes 900 drone came as an Israeli airstrike hit the city of Rafah, now the most densely populated Palestinian city. These drones were used in the Israeli massacre of Gaza. In addition to obtaining intelligence, the drones allegedly carried out attacks on Palestinian civilians and homes.
