Defective mines began to be removed from the front
According to Butusov, the problem concerns approximately 1.9 million mortar rounds.
After the discovery of a batch of defective mortar shells, they began to be withdrawn from the front.
However, as Yuriy Butusov, editor-in-chief of Censor.NET, notes on his YouTube channel, new ammunition was never provided to some brigades.
“For 2024, according to our data, the state has allocated about UAH 25 billion for the program for the production of mortar rounds. The planning of the distribution of these funds was carried out. Oleksandr Kamyshin, the Minister of Strategic Industry, who is currently an adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, was responsible for this program for the production of ammunition and mortar rounds “, the journalist said.
According to Butusov, the problem concerns approximately 1.9 million mortar rounds.
