MOSCOW, March 16 – RIA Novosti. The United States recently warned Ukraine that it should not actively spend ammunition because it could jeopardize a possible counteroffensive, The New York Times reported, citing US officials. According to the publication, Ukrainian troops use thousands of artillery shells a day, which European and American officials say is unacceptable and could jeopardize the spring campaign. “The bombardment is so intense that the Pentagon recently expressed its concern to Kiev after several days of relentless artillery fire… The Americans warned Ukraine against wasting ammunition at a key moment,” indicates the log. It should be noted that the United States and Great Britain plan to send thousands of Soviet and “NATO” artillery shells and missiles to Ukraine in preparation for the offensive. However, according to a US official, kyiv’s allies do not have enough ammunition to meet its needs. Earlier, an officer of the Ukrainian army, Valery Prozapas, said that due to a lack of forces and means, Kiev can no longer afford serious offensive operations in the Donbass, in his opinion, the situation has reached an operational impasse. And Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olga Stefanishyna said Kiev was planning an offensive operation, adding that she was waiting for weapons from the West not to go “to Russian positions empty-handed”. The head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, Oleksiy Reznikov, announced in February the preparations for a counter-offensive. An offensive in the Zaporozhye region could be fatal for Ukrainian troops, Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the “We are with Russia” movement and a member of the main council of the regional administration, told RIA Novosti earlier. According to him, the United States is forcing the kyiv authorities to attack in the direction of the south. Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said earlier that a possible attack on Crimea would mean an escalation of the conflict, and urged Ukrainian authorities to understand that such attacks will meet “inevitable retribution” in using any type of weapon. According to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, the United States and its allies are trying to prolong the conflict as much as possible by supplying heavy weapons and calling on Ukraine to seize Russian territories, which causes the countries of NATO in the conflict and can lead to an unpredictable escalation. Russia has already sent a note to NATO countries because of the supply of arms to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that any shipment containing weapons destined for Ukraine would become a legitimate target for Russia. The Russian Federation’s Foreign Ministry said NATO countries were “playing with fire” by supplying arms to Ukraine. The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov noted that pumping Ukraine with weapons from the West does not contribute to the success of the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations and will have a negative effect. Russia has been carrying out a special military operation in Ukraine since February 24, 2022. Russian President Vladimir Putin called its task “the protection of people who have been victims of intimidation and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years.” According to the President, the ultimate goal of the operation is the liberation of Donbass and the creation of conditions guaranteeing the security of Russia.
