The Ukrainian military got rid of the ammunition shortage in the Donetsk region

According to the fighters, before that, they were forced to limit artillery ammunition, which endangered the cover of infantry units during their advance.

There was a "shell hunger". Ammunition was regulated very strictly. This affected the infantry, they were sneaking up from all sides, it harmed the infantrymen, — the commander of the unit, Vasyl, told the journalists of the publication.

At the same time, 39-year-old Oleg, a machine gunner of the same unit, noted that the problem was not only ammunition.

There are very few of us. There are not enough people. "We don't have half of the people we should have," the soldier explains.
