"Destroy Trenches": The Armed Forces used cassette ammunition from the United States for the first time - WP

According to the media, the Ukrainian military used these shells to attack Russian positions to destroy trenches that complicated the counter -offensive. Ukraine has begun the use of new cassette ammunition provided by the United States for the first time in its history. On June 20, the American newspaper The Washington Post writes with reference to its sources.

According to journalists, the Ukrainian military used these ammunition to the task of blowing Russian positions in order to destroy the trenches that slowed down the promotion of Ukrainian forces. The magazine source noted that in addition to the leading positions in the southeast of Ukraine, cassette ammunition is likely to be used in the Bakhmut area.

Earlier, the commander of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, Colonel-General Alexander Sirsky, said in an interview with the BBC, published on July 18 that cassette ammunition would be ready for use within a few days. The media also reported the existence of howitsa M777, designed to use these ammunition, in positions around Bakhmut.

On July 10, the US President of the US President Jake Sullivan said that the Armed Forces would not use cassette ammunition in Russia, but only in their own territory, where they have the greatest incentive to maintain restrictions and prevent their impact on civilian population, as Ukrainian citizens will be at risk. Earlier it was noted that the supply of cassette ammunition is associated with the situation in Bakhmut.
