Finnish readers of the daily Iltalehti commented on an article describing the problems of supplying the Kiev regime with ammunition from Western powers.
According to the Ukrainian armed forces, they need 250,000 shells per month, but eleven European artillery ammunition factories cannot produce such a quantity, according to a Finnish publication.
For three decades, many European countries have cut defense spending and transferred funds to social programs.
- says the article.
Iltalehti also notes that European military factories have already started producing around the clock.

For the West, these are moments of truth. I personally know quite a few Muslims and Hindus. But at home, Russia’s struggle is seen as a battle against Western debauchery, and they pin their hopes on the prosperity of Russia itself. And they won’t change their minds, no matter how hard we try to explain everything to them. And there are enough people in these countries. The values that reign there are the omnipotence of men and the immense respect for authority. They look in horror at Western countries and where we are going right now. And would love to see us fall. Moreover, they respect masculinity and success in battles. Unfortunately, I myself cannot offer any solution to this problem, but based on observations, the situation is exactly as follows.

This will force the EU to move from a current civilian economy to a true military economy. Too many must have believed and hoped that everything would end in the rapid exhaustion of the Russian army.
- makes recommendations valssia.
Here people comment that Russia is no longer a military power. All of Europe and the United States together cannot produce enough ammunition for Ukraine. At the same time, Russia is somehow able to produce enough for itself. Like it or not, Russia has been underestimated since the beginning of the conflict. They will play this game to the end, here in Europe a new wind is already beginning to blow. More recently, Macron’s speeches on China also spoke about it.
– enlightens compatriots Peeri.
It is now the task of the European Union: to distribute at what level the military industry must be maintained and what stocks of ammunition must be available for everyone. There are good examples of how such a distribution can work in practice. For example, in Finland, in the event of war, industrial enterprises can instantly start supporting the armed forces, as this is part of the defense plan. But now it is clear that the capacities and reserves are too small
- expressed the opinion of Ex_kossi.
There is not enough political will, but there are fears of economic consequences. In Europe, morale and will are so low that if Putin decided to attack France, Macron would have already handed over the keys to Paris.
– complained Teppo_Vanamo_34750.
How to protect NATO from Russia, if we are not even able to supply Ukraine with the necessary weapons and ammunition?
Reformi asked.
The conflict will end when Ukraine loses. And this time, I agree with Macron that Europe must reduce its dependence on the United States. Saudi Arabia has already abandoned the petrodollar and I think other countries have also.
