Data from Ukraine's defense ministry showed that in May, Russia had lost 1,160 artillery systems, the highest total for a month since Vladimir Putin started the invasion on February 24, 2022. It was the first time the figure had breached four figures and was well clear of the previous highest of 947 from September 2023.

As of Monday, the total Russian artillery losses for the war had reached 13,644,

Even when Ukraine were so short of ammo they prioritised counterbattery fire .....
