Ukraine’s allies plan to provide Kyiv with nearly 500,000 artillery shells by the end of the year through the Czech artillery initiative. Other munitions are available and could be supplied to Ukraine, said Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
Also, France is preparing a new military aid package for Ukraine that includes 128 VAB armored vehicles, 18 Caesar self-propelled howitzers, 24 light tanks, anti-tank missiles, trucks, and radar systems.
At the same time, the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Vadym Sukharevskyi, said that Ukraine is not behind the Russian Federation in terms of the number of UAVs used at the front. Ukraine Forces are currently testing and using more than 165 new developments on the battlefield. He noted: “In just two quarters of this year, we delivered 500% more drones to the military than in 2023”.
Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk stated that there are no safe locations left for Russian ships in the Black Sea, even around Novorossiysk port, due to the threat posed by Ukrainian naval drones.
