Deputy Defense Minister Yurii Dzhyhyr noted that the Defense Ministry is looking for internal reserves to provide Ukrainian soldiers with ammunition.
"We understand that every shot, missile, and round is vital on the battlefield today. Instead of disposing of the ammunition, we are "disposing" of the enemy with it. We give them a second life - we try to restore everything that can be repaired and further used. We are all working to supply the frontline," Dzhyhyr emphasized.
As reported earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is conducting laboratory tests of a new lightweight model of body armor weighing from 7.5 kg to 12 kg, which will provide 6th class protection.
