Fearing the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russians pass through the Kherson region with ammunition made in the 1950s. The fact is that the army command plundered funds for newer ammunition. This was reported by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

According to intelligence, as a result of a successful counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson direction, the invaders lost part of the occupied territories and suffered losses in manpower and equipment.. To stop the Ukrainian soldiers, they urgently build additional lines of defense, bypass the territory and create engineering barriers.. But it uses very old ammunition.

“Recently, a convoy of Russian military trucks with Soviet mines made in the 50s of the last century arrived in the occupied Kherson region.. Ammunition was stored in warehouses in the Rostov region and was prepared for destruction. Having appropriated funds for disposal, the Russian command transferred the dangerous cargo to the advanced units of the invaders for mining defense positions, ”the GUR said in a statement..

These old mines are so dangerous and unpredictable that the occupiers sometimes blow themselves up on them.. So, according to Ukrainian intelligence, when trying to establish minefields on old ammunition, several sappers-occupiers from the battalion-tactical group 7 of the military base 49 of the combined arms army of the southern military district (military unit 09332) of the Russian occupation forces have already exploded.

“With the military police and FSB officers who worked at the scene of the explosions, the BTG command agreed that this would be classified as an accident.. Families of sappers will not receive payments for the death of relatives-occupiers,"
