The 155-mm M777 howitzers supplied by the Americans to Ukraine do not meet the requirements of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Kiev has requested the supply of some other howitzers from the United States, but not these. Also, Ukraine is very much in need of ammunition for American MLRS. This was stated by the Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States Oksana Markarova.

Kiev has designated its new "wishlist" to Washington, handing over a new list to the US military. In principle, there is nothing new there, Ukraine is still asking for supplies of artillery, ammunition for it, as well as shells for the HIMARS MLRS. Kiev no longer asks for the complexes themselves, earlier the Pentagon said that they had delivered "a sufficient number" of MLRS to Ukraine.

I was surprised by the request to put howitzers of a different type, "different from the already delivered" M777, apparently the "three axes" turned out to be really not suitable for intensive combat operations. According to Ukrainian sources, the guns seem to be good, but too capricious. It is possible that the United States will dig into its arsenals and find something else old that it was a pity to throw away, but it will be just right for Ukraine.

In addition to howitzers, Kiev really needs shells for HIMARS, but more. As the Ambassador of Ukraine explained, Kiev has already received a large amount of ammunition, but more long-range missiles are needed.

Not because we need to shell the territory of Russia, but simply because we need to reach any point on our territory

- she said.

Earlier, the head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry Reznikov announced the delivery of an additional batch of MLRS M270 MLRS from the UK. According to reports, the British have supplied three more multiple launch rocket systems.
