Kyiv: Russian military cadets ‘undergo practice’ in Donbas
The spokesman for the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, Maxim Prauta stated at a press conference, with reference to data provided by the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, that the reason for the increase of the frequency of shillings in the Donbas is the arrival of Russia cadets from military academies for field testing.
“One of the reasons why shelling in the Donbas has intensified is due to the cadets who undergo training and combat shooting tests after finishing higher education institutions in Russia. They come for field training with the 1st and 2nd Army Corps and shell with 122 and 120-mm caliber ammunition,” said Prauta.
In addition, the Russian military in the occupied territories of Donbas began field testing of a new model of drone for reconnaissance and combat capabilities.
Over the past day Russian militants in the Donbas fired over 100 times at Ukrainian military targets.
