The SSU discovered three caches of weapons and ammunition in different regions of Ukraine. One of them was left by the ruscists while fleeing from Kyiv region, so that the hidden weapons could be used by Russian subversive groups.
This was reported by the SSU press service, Censor.NET reports.
It is noted that another cache with munitions was set up by a repeat offender who tried to sell them to criminals in western Ukraine. The seized items include an arsenal of Russian grenade launchers, more than 15 kg of explosives with electric detonators and automatic weapons.
