The command of the armed forces of the Russian Federation supplies weapons and ammunition, prohibited by international conventions, to occupied Donbas.

This was announced by the representative of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Colonel Dmytro Gutsulyak, with reference to the information of the Main Intelligence Directorate.

"The command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continues to supply weapons and ammunition to the temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, including weapons prohibited by international conventions," said Gutsulyak.

According to intelligence data, at the end of January, divisions of formations and parts of the 1st (Donetsk) and 2nd (Luhansk) army corpuses of the Russian Armed Forces of the Russian Federation received another batch of anti-personnel mines of pressure action and fragmentation damage (OZM-72).

Subsequently, the enemy engineer units set up additional mine-blast barriers at the frontline positions of the Russian occupation forces in all directions.

At the same time, these measures have traditionally been carried out in a hurry, without proper documentation.

“These criminal acts of the Russian occupation forces increase the mine danger in the region and pose a threat to the civilians, not to mentioning it often lead to the loss of the occupiers themselves,” the representative of the Ministry of Defense stressed.
