Russia has been forced to issue old ammunition that was previously declared unfit for use, says UK i

Russia has been forced to issue old ammunition that was previously categorised as unfit for use, with its army dealing with major munition shortages in Ukraine, according to UK intelligence.

The UK Ministry of Defence said in an intelligence update on Tuesday that Russia "has almost certainly already resorted to issuing old munitions stock which were previously categorised as unfit for use."

It said that shortages in artillery ammunition over the last few weeks "have likely worsened to the extent that extremely punitive shell-rationing is in force on many parts of the front."

This likely explains why Russia has not made any significant gains since it started its long-awaited offensive earlier this spring, the MOD said.
