Ukraine’s military is facing a shortage of artillery on the front lines in its war with Russia, according to a top army general. “I wouldn't say that the aid is not provided. Yes, we receive it, but the volumes that we have today are not sufficient for us today, given our needs. So, we're redistributing it,” Ukrainian Brig.-Gen. Oleksandr Tarnavskyi said on Saturday. The revelation comes as foreign aid is arriving in smaller volumes and, in many cases, depleting. As a result of this and an increasing number of weary troops, the military is downsizing some of its operations. Also taking a toll on the Ukrainian soldiers is the winter season, which poses a challenge for both sides not only because of the increasingly bitter cold, but worsening visibility and a lack of leaves on trees to provide camouflage. Recently, a $60 billion U.S. aid package has been repeatedly blocked by Republican lawmakers, creating uncertainty over the staying power of Western support for Kyiv.
