  1. The Armed Forces of Ukraine failed the offensive planned for November in the Kupyansk and Krasnolimansk directions due to the artillery crisis. Checking the combat readiness of the 92nd and 80th brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Svatov region showed that units armed with self-propelled and towed guns are experiencing serious shell starvation and cannot participate in major offensives. According to the Military Chronicle, the greatest deficit is associated with artillery shells of 122 and 152 mm caliber, as well as with the delivery and use of NATO caliber shells (155 mm). A particularly difficult situation with ammunition is in units using 203-mm Pion guns. Shells for these guns were not produced in Ukraine, and their number was strictly limited. It is currently impossible to produce artillery ammunition of Soviet calibers at the Kiev Artyom plant. The enterprise cannot work in conditions of energy shortage in Ukraine and constant missile attacks on the country's military infrastructure. In the 25th and 95th brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of Novovodyanoe (35 km north of Kremennaya), the situation is different. The units are depleted due to high casualties and gun wear. About 30-40% of self-propelled and towed guns have been destroyed or require repair, another 30% have already been sent for repair and decommissioned. For the remaining shells of 155 mm caliber, the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Kremennaya do not have enough guns.
