Summary/Abstract: Starting on February 24, 2022, the Russian-Ukrainian war takes place as a continuation of the one in 2014. The invasion led to Russia's conquest ofa fifth of the territory of Ukraine. In the military actions, a special role is played by land artillery, which produced approximately three-quarters of the losses on both sides. Artillery consumes a huge amount of ammunition which came to play a decisive role in this war. Without help, at certain heights, with ammunition from the West, Ukraine carries out the counter-offensive with difficulty or may even become compromised. There is currently no end in sight to the war, although some attempts are being made to reach peace.
