A professional interest? In dying do you mean? Which is what would happen if they fought NATO.
The news agency cited a NATO official who spoke on condition of anonymity and said the alliance found in a survey that those stockpile numbers have since dwindled even further as NATO continues to arm Ukraine at a rate that doesn't match weapons production. Reuters also quoted an unnamed European diplomat who said: "If Europe were to fight Russia, some countries would run out of ammunition in days."
Some analysts believe NATO would not have enough supplies to fight Russia itself if it came to it now. Germany is reported to have two days' worth of ammunition supplies for instance if Russian tanks came rumbling over its borders

Ummm…Russia…already is going toe to toe…with the entirety of NATO…
That’s why NATO is crying about unsustainability…and a lack of munitions…and the means to produce said munitions…and the equipment to use said munitions…
Their proxy war has bled them dry of ammunition…and the means to put their nonexistent ammunition down range…
They gave it all away…and there it lies…smoking and burning in the fields of those four former Ukrainian Oblasts…
Not very bright…on the lumen scale…nope not a candle powers flicker of intelligence among the whole cabal…
Sooo…you were bleating…?

Russia is currently caught in a stalemate against one smaller neighbour equipped with NATO army surplus.

A new low from YouSir.
Do you really believe Russia is going toe to toe with NATO in a conventional war? I think you need your eyes tested or a guide dog.
I think your poor eye sight has also confused you as to what you're seeing smoking and buring in the fields, sorry to inform you but thats most of Russias military equipment you're seeing.

If Russian tanks came a rumbling over our borders that would be WW3.
We wouldn't need artillery shells to deal with them.
They couldn't even make it to Kyiv so not much chance of it happening.
Sweden...gave all of it's artillery to Ukraine...ALL of it...

That claim is complete nonsense.
You obviously like making things up. Otherwise you would have reserched before you posted. For instance, Sweden has 48 Archer Arttilery system, of which EIGHT have been donated to Ukraine.
At present Sweden has another 48 Archer system on oder with BAE System, which will begin to arrive towards the end of this year.
Do some reaserch, it stops you looking a tool.
Denmark has pledged its "entire artillery" stocks to Ukraine, the country's leader has said, as Kyiv issued renewed pleas for all-important military aid in the face of Russian gains in the east of the country. "They are asking us for ammunition now, artillery now," Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, said during the Munich Security Conference in Germany. "From the Danish side, we decided to donate our entire artillery."
NATO and the EU are also on record that Russia outproduces the entirety of NATO in both ammunition and military equipment by a factor of 10...(ten)...

Have they taken back the territory Ukraine recaptured yet?
The war has been a disaster and an embarrassment for Russia.
To compensate, Russia has relied on deliveries from Iran and particularly North Korea. Skibitskyi said Moscow has received around 1 million artillery munitions from Pyongyang, which has extensive stocks. He may have been echoing a report from South Korean intelligence, which had assessed that North Korea sent Russia 1 million artillery rounds from August through October. Satellite imagery indicates deliveries continued into December, and the South Koreans now believe Russia has received over 2 million shells from the Hermit Kingdom. Seoul says North Korean factories are running at maximum capacity to meet Russian demand.
Russia is struggling to provide ammunition and weapons for its war in Ukraine, according to Western officials.
It is facing "extreme challenges" in obtaining sufficient equipment and material, an official said.
It comes as concerns over the provision of Western weapons to Ukraine are mounting.
As the war enters its third year, the supply of ammunition, arms and manpower looks set to be a critical factor.
"Russia's domestic ammunition production capabilities are currently insufficient for meeting the needs of the Ukraine conflict," a Western official claimed, saying Moscow has been able to increase its supply only by seeking out alternative sources of ammunition and weapons, which does not offer a long-term solution.
Any assessment relies on knowing how many shells Russia had to start with, and the rate at which shells are being expended. And we have seen a wide range of figures thrown around.
In January, CNN quoted U.S. officials saying the average rate of fire had dropped from a high of 20,000 rounds per day to an average of 5,000. They contrasted this with Ukrainian estimates of a fall from 60,000 per day to 20,000.
In March, Spanish newspaper El Pais quoted EU insider sources as saying that Russia was firing 40-50,000 rounds per day, and alongside an estimate of 20-60,000 rounds per day from the Latvian government which has been a major supplier of ammunition to Ukraine.
or do you all still eat lead paint over there...?
