"This is a historic decision, as weapons for Ukraine will be purchased at the expense of the proceeds from frozen Russian assets through the European Peace Fund," Denys Shmyhal said.

The European Union has pledged to supply over 1.35 million rounds in 2025 and plans to allocate nearly 1.9 billion euro ($2.1 billion) from Russian frozen assets in military support for Ukraine, Ukrainian officials announced on May 9.

    I’d say that from what we can see here, Russian capabilities did not improve in general, but diverged.

    They have much better drone recon allowing better precision nowadays, but are running out of good guns to follow up on that, so they are most likely doing blanket artillery saturation while also hitting valuable targets with glide bombs and ballistic missiles.

    So vis-a-vis artillery, they need many more shells for the same effect, and it’s getting worse, but they are getting better with drones and cheap smart munitions.
