Defense News\u2019 2022 Top 100 list<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut, Shoigu added, \u201cright now it is necessary to double the production of high-precision weapons in the shortest possible time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Analysts have been trying to figure out whether Russia is running low on high-precision ammunition, as its missile barrages against Ukraine have become less frequent and smaller in scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The U.K. Defence Ministry noted in a Tuesday assessment that \u201clogistics problems remain at the heart of Russia\u2019s struggling campaign in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRussia does not have enough munitions to achieve success on the offensive,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the White House said Monday it now estimates Russia had suffered 100,000 casualties since December, including more than 20,000 killed, as Ukraine rebuffed a heavy assault by Russian forces in eastern Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAn employee walks at the workshop of the Forges de Tarbes, which produces 155mm shells, the munition for French Caesar artillery guns in use by the Ukrainian military, in Tarbes, southwestern France, on April 4, 2023.

He did not explain how the intelligence community derived the number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Tuesday described Washington\u2019s latest estimate of Russia\u2019s losses in Ukraine as \u201cspun out of thin air.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWashington doesn\u2019t have the opportunity to give any correct numbers. They don\u2019t have such data,\u201d Peskov said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later Tuesday, the Ukrainian military reported that Russian forces launched 30 airstrikes, three missile strikes and eight attacks from multiple rocket launchers, resulting in casualties among the civilian population and damage to civilian infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The General Staff of Ukraine\u2019s armed forces said Russia was continuing to concentrate its efforts on offensive operations in Ukraine\u2019s industrial east, focusing attacks around Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Marinka in the country\u2019s Donetsk province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The prosecutor\u2019s office in Ukraine\u2019s southern Kherson province reported that Russian shelling in the regional capital, also called Kherson, and several villages killed three people and wounded five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ukrainian forces, meanwhile, say they are readying their own counteroffensive \u2014 and stockpiling ammunition to sustain it along potentially long supply lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said Monday that the \u201ckey things\u201d for the assault\u2019s success were \u201cthe availability of weapons, prepared, trained people, our defenders and defenders who know their plan at their level, as well as providing this offensive with all the necessary things \u2014 shells, ammunition, fuel, protection, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs of today, we are entering the home stretch, when we can say: \u2018Yes, everything is ready,\u2019 \u201d Reznikov said in televised comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Russia\u2019s Bryansk region, which borders northern Ukraine, an \u201cunidentified explosive device\u201d derailed a freight train, Gov. Alexander Bogomaz said Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Russian Railways confirmed that \u201cillegal interference\u201d caused 20 cars of the freight train to derail. No casualties were reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An explosive device also derailed a freight train in Bryansk on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were no immediate indications who set off the explosives, but Bryansk has received sporadic cross-border shelling during the war. In March, two people were reported killed in what regional officials described as an incursion by Ukrainian saboteurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In recent months, amid winter weather, the conflict has become bogged down in a war of attrition that has depleted ammunition stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Kremlin\u2019s forces took aim at Ukraine\u2019s critical infrastructure with long-range strikes, while Kyiv zeroed in on Russian targets with precision artillery provided by its Western allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In February, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned that Ukraine was using up ammunition far faster than its allies could provide it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to some estimates, Ukraine was at that time firing up to 6,000-7,000 artillery shells each day, around a third of the daily amount that Russia was using almost one year into the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sporadic nighttime Russian shelling continued to hit Ukrainian areas early Tuesday, officials said. At least seven civilians were wounded, authorities said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Ukraine\u2019s military prepares for a counteroffensive to take back Russian-occupied territory, Denmark said Tuesday it is donating 1.7 billion kroner (U.S. $250.5 million) in aid to Ukraine, including mine-clearance vehicles, munitions, field bridges and money for air defenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe know that the Russians have entrenched themselves in the occupied territories of Ukraine with trenches, minefields and other obstacles to stop a Ukrainian offensive,\u201d acting Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said. \u201cThe material in the donation package is important to pave the way for Ukrainian tanks and the armored infantry in the front line.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amid growing Russian influence in Africa, with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov visiting the continent twice this year, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly address that he had spoken with the chairperson of the African Union and the president of the Comoros, Azali Assoumani, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the video update, Zelenskyy said he had invited Assoumani to join the implementation of Ukraine\u2019s \u201cPeace Formula,\u201d and assured Assoumani that Ukraine was \u201cready to be a reliable guarantor of food security.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
