This is the best summary I could come up with:


Russia is using low-quality artillery shells from North Korea that are often defective and cause problems on the front lines, Ukraine's army said.

It is particularly a problem in the "Dnepr" grouping of forces operating around the southern Kherson region under the command of Col. Gen. Mikhail Teplinsky, according to Ukraine's army.

Defense expert Trevor Taylor from the London-based Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies previously told Politico that it was unclear whether the North Korean ammunition was of a reliable quality.

Meanwhile, fears are also growing of a Ukrainian shell famine as Western military aid shows signs of faltering.

During its counteroffensive in the summer, Ukrainian forces were burning through artillery shells at a rate of about 7,000 rounds a day, according to figures from Estonia's defense ministry.

Israel's war with Hamas could also divert tens of thousands of artillery rounds intended for Ukraine, Axios reported in October.
