- Ukraine lags far behind Russia in its use and production of artillery shells, according to CNN.
- Russia fired 60,000 shells a day earlier this year, while Ukraine now fires about 7,000, per CNN.
- Artillery fire has been a hallmark of Russia's 18-month war in Ukraine.
Ukrainian forces are burning through artillery shells and ammunition at a rate of about 7,000 rounds a day, but this is still a much lower rate than Russia was using at the height of its military efforts earlier this year, according to CNN.
