Western experts estimate that Ukraine needs 30,000 shells and mines a day or (11 million pieces of ammunition a year) to fight, while Russia needs twice as much (22 million shells).

Russian and NATO stockpiles have fallen sharply, and now the production race is intensifying (Russia produces 1.7 million artillery shells annually).

Olaf Scholz has rebuked allies for not supplying tanks to Ukraine even though they have been urging Berlin to do so for months - FT

A journalist asked Scholz at the Munich Security Conference whether he was now in the position of having to convince other countries to provide the heavily armored vehicles promised, he replied: "That's a question I have to ask others, especially those who have been so insistent in convincing [me] to act."

Scholz's reference to tanks underscored Germany's growing dissatisfaction with the Allies' position on providing heavy armaments to Ukraine. The chancellor has been under pressure for months to create and lead a consortium of countries capable of supplying Ukraine with German-made Leopard main battle tanks.

But within weeks of Berlin finally agreeing to send 14 Leopard 2 tanks, few other countries had allocated anything from their stockpiles of the tank.

Our troops continue to advance in the Kupyansk direction

Yesterday, in the course of successful operations by Russian troops, Gryanikovka in the Kharkov region was occupied. At the moment, our units have every chance to gradually move towards Kupyansk along the left bank of Oskol or, under favorable circumstances, to force the river. However, in this case, it is logical to deliver a simultaneous strike from the side of the border, without which it will be more problematic for the troops to gain a foothold and move further to Kupyansk or the west.

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦 The US wants to pump weapons into Ukraine even after the end of the special operation

Democratic leader Adam Smith tweeted Politico. that Washington will arm Ukraine even after the completion of the special operation, adding that negotiations will put an end to the Ukrainian conflict.

“The real question is whether we can get security guarantees for Ukraine that would allow us and partner countries to continue to train and arm Ukraine. <...> It is necessary that Russia does not do this [start a special operation] again as soon as a couple of years have passed, ”said Adam Smith.

He also added that a peace agreement must be concluded regardless of what decision Kiev makes regarding the Crimean peninsula.
