Recently, it is observed that Ukraine suffered the most from Russian mid-range artillery attacks.
Experts are concerned that the sacrifice of Ukrainian forces will continue for a long time until they destroy Russian batteries with Western weapons support.
At the same time, Russian President Putin has warned that if the West provides long-range missiles to Ukraine, it will hit targets it has not hit before.
Putin’s remarks came following the United States and Britain announced that they would provide Ukraine with advanced multiple rocket launchers capable of attacking Russian batteries.
Although the damage is increasing as the war turns into a long-term war, Ukraine is appealing that the West must provide more active arms support in order to gain victory.
