Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmygal described the current position of the country’s army on the battlefield as unfavorable and noted that the Russian Armed Forces have an advantage in the air. He spoke about the situation in the conflict zone in an interview with a Japanese television channel NHK.
Last week, Russian troops dropped thousands of guided bombs on the Donetsk town of Avdiիvka, the head of government said. In turn, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are facing a reduction in the supply of ammunition from foreign partners.
According to Shmygal, it is now very important for Kyiv to have long-range missiles. Ukrainian troops need these shells to hit warehouses and command posts of the Russian Armed Forces.
“We are trying to close this gap thanks to the unmanned aerial vehicles and technology produced in Ukraine, but for us, especially long-range missiles and projectiles are of decisive importance,” the head of the cabinet said.
In the end, he explained that one of the reasons for the difficult situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the war zone is the shortage of long-range missiles.
Formerly at the US Department of Defense said About problems with equipment transferred to Ukraine.
