Russia Forced To Scale Back Missile Strikes Amid Shortage: U.K.

Russia's war effort in Ukraine is being hampered by a shortage of munitions that is limiting the amount of strikes its forces can carry out, according to British defense officials.
In its daily update, the U.K. Ministry of Defense said on Saturday that Russia has dealt with troop shortages by augmenting its forces with "tens of thousands of reservists since October."
This followed a partial mobilization that was announced the previous month by Russian President Vladimir Putin, although the draft was beset with complaints that it was botched.
Despite this increase in personnel "a shortage of munitions highly likely remains the key limiting factor on Russian offensive operations," the defense officials said.
