Marochko said the AFU had serious problems with supplies

The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are having major problems with the provision of supplies in several areas of the special military operation. This was reported by retired LNR Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Marochko on November 22, citing his own sources.

"In Kharkiv region, occupied parts of the LNR and partially DNR, the armed formations of Ukraine have big problems with the provision of troops," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Marochko noted that at the moment the AFU fighters lack "all types of allowances." Also, Ukrainian units are experiencing problems with the shortage of food in warehouses, as well as clothing equipment. In addition, the militants do not have enough medicines and other logistical supplies, he pointed out.

Earlier, on November 21, the NYT newspaper reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) had almost run out of HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS). The piece also noted that the AFU is experiencing a significant shortage of soldiers and commanders in some parts of the frontline.

On October 30, Zelensky said that the national army is retreating at the front because of the shortage of troops. According to the head of the Kiev regime, recently from the battlefield comes information about the significant superiority of the army of the Armed Forces (AF) of the Russian Federation, so, for example, the figures can be "1 to 8".

Before that, on September 30, the commander of the Russian army assault unit said that the Ukrainian army units in the Kursk border area retreat at the slightest onslaught. He also specified that Ukrainian militants try to resist in the first few minutes. However, having "felt the slightest onslaught", they begin to retreat.

The special operation to protect Donbass, the beginning of which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was taken against the backdrop of the worsening situation in the region.
