Russian forces discover US-made ammunition, foreign mercenaries’ MREs in Avdeyevka

Russian troops discovered foreign-made ammunition in the Ukrainian stronghold in Avdeyevka and a cache of US-and Czech-made 120-mm mortar shells in the nearby building, the Russian Defense Ministry said, adding that ready-to-eat meals (MREs) belonging to Canadian and Georgian mercenaries were discovered as well.

Previously, the Defense Ministry reported that the Ukrainian positions near the railway station were defended by the 3rd Assault Brigade, staffed with former "Azov" regiment (deemed terrorist and outlawed in Russia) militants.
