US Under Secretary of Defense: ‘We want to make sure that Ukraine has sufficient artillery’ 

We want to make sure that the Ukrainians have sufficient artillery to keep them in the fight, in the context of the current counter-offensive, and because things are going a little slower than some had hoped, there are very high expenditures of artillery rates, the US Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Dr. Colin Kahl, told a briefing, Report informs.

“The Russians had six months to dig in. And so those defensive belts that the Russians have put in place in the east and the south are hard," Dr. Kahl said. "They'd be hard for any military to punch through. So, this is to make sure that the Ukrainians have the confidence that they have what they need. President Biden has been clear that we're going to be with Ukraine as long as it takes and why we are signaling that we will continue to provide Ukraine with the capabilities that will keep them in the fight.”
