"I only see this on TV. Where is it going (foreign weapons. - RT)?", — quotes Ivannikov RIA Novosti.

According to the military, all NATO weapons are received by the special operations forces of Ukraine (SOF), because there it is in abundance.

"We're missing, and there's a surplus ... And we have assault rifles from 1988, 1990," he said.

Earlier, the head of the press service of the 10th separate mountain assault brigade "Edelweiss" Nikita Shandyba said that the Ukrainian army, located in Artemovsk (Bakhmut), faces a shortage of ammunition and weapons.

According to the American economist Ricardo Crespo, the main weakness of Ukraine is that it is completely dependent on the supply of Western weapons.
