⚡️ The Russian Defense Ministry commented on the exalted statements that appeared on certain information resources about allegedly blocking the supply of ammunition to volunteers of assault detachments performing combat missions to liberate the city of Artemovsk of the Donetsk People's Republic.

◽️ The command of the joint group of troops (forces) within the framework of a special military operation pays special, constant and priority attention to providing volunteers and military personnel of assault units with everything necessary.

◽️ Only in the last two days, the total advance, to the prepared defensive positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, assault units in the area of the city of Artyomovsk amounted to more than two and a half kilometers. Successful combat operations would not have been possible without full fire support for the offensive by artillery, armored vehicles and other fire weapons of the Yug group. Despite the difficult weather conditions in the area of the city of Artyomovsk, over the past few days, 18 sorties of assault aircraft were carried out to support the offensive of the assault detachments. Therefore, all statements allegedly made on behalf of the assault units about the lack of ammunition are absolutely untrue.

◽️ So, only for the period of two days from February 18 to February 20, 2023, the volunteers of the assault squads received:
1660 rockets for multiple rocket launchers; 10171 ammunition for large-caliber cannon artillery and mortars; 980 tank ammo.

◽️ All applications for the supply of ammunition for assault units are completed as soon as possible. So it was and so it will be.

◽️ In the next few days, all requests for ammunition submitted for February will be fully provided for assault units. On February 25, deliveries of ammunition of the entire range will begin in accordance with the submitted application for March. In total, over the past year, the needs of assault detachments for ammunition were met by 140 percent of the applications received. This is our priority.

◽️ Once again, we want to emphasize that the volunteers, like the military personnel of the assault units of the group, courageously and selflessly carry out the most difficult combat missions to liberate Donbass from militants of the Kyiv regime. Attempts to split the close mechanism of interaction and support between the divisions of the Russian group are counterproductive and play only to the benefit of the enemy.
