Western media and NATO claim without evidence that large quantities of air defence systems, artillery, tanks, and armoured personnel carriers were transferred to the Resistance.
If the media had done their homework, they would have known that there were huge weapons dumps left over from the cold war all over the East Ukraine.
This industrial region is full of mechanics and engineers, who quickly got a lot of the old equipment working again. They also captured a huge amounts during battles.
This video shows one example of many such dumps.
