The potential of ammunition production the collective West is limited and it takes a lot of time to mobilize resources in this regard, so there are "points of tension," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said in an interview with the British newspaper, that Ukraine, like the whole world, is experiencing a serious shortage of ammunition.
"In practical terms, of course, we need an assessment of our specialists, mainly from the defense ministry, so I would not say anything here. But in general, of course, the potential of the collective West for the production of ammunition is limited. It takes a lot of time to mobilize resources in order to increase this potential. Therefore, of course, there are certain points of tension, " Peskov told a briefing.

EU to Rely on US LNG 'For Decades' Amid Backfiring Anti-Russia Sanctions
Ambassador David O’Sullivan, international special envoy for the implementation of EU sanctions, said at an Atlantic Council event on Monday that the bloc does not see any imminent lifting of sanctions against Moscow in any significant way, even if there were to be a cessation of the hostilities in Ukraine at some point.
"Russia has been living under a sanctions regime for quite a long time, in fact, for decades, and therefore we have sufficiently adapted to it. Therefore, such time horizons as five years and so on, of course, do not scare us at all. And it is quite easy to predict that attempts to contain our economy will continue," Peskov told reporters.

On Hypersonic Missiles Technology Espionage

Russia has its own rockets that have no analogues in the world, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, former US President Donald Trump claimed that Russia stole "Super Duper" hypersonic missile technology from the United States during the Obama administration and used it to develop its own missiles.
"We have our own rocket, a great rocket. I find it difficult to say whether our rocket fits into the understanding of Mr. Trump as a 'super-duper' one. But a good rocket, which has no analogues in the world so far, and not a single one," Peskov told a briefing, commenting statements of the former US president.
