Shortages of Western-supplied artillery shells have forced Ukraine to scale back re-plan frontline attacks, a general has said.

“There’s a problem with ammunition, especially post-Soviet (shells) – that’s 122 mm, 152 mm – and today these problems exist across the entire front line,” Brigadier General Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, commander of the southern Tavria army group.

“The volumes that we have today are not sufficient for us today, given our needs. So, we’re redistributing it. We’re replanning tasks that we had set for ourselves and making them smaller because we need to provide for them.”

Western support for Ukraine has faltered in recent months. Republicans in Congress are holding up a $60 billion (£48bn) US aid package and Hungary last week blocked €50 billion (£43bn) in European Union funding.

The White House said on Sunday that it only has enough current funding to give Ukraine one additional military aid package.
