As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pushed his Western allies to ramp up arms deliveries to Ukraine, Russia announced Wednesday that its forces destroyed an arms depot for NATO weapons in Western Ukraine.
A statement released by the Russian Defense Ministry announced that high-precision long-range Kalibr missiles were used to destroy "an ammunition depot of foreign weapons transferred to Ukraine by NATO countries, including 155-mm M777 howitzers" in the Lvov region in western Ukraine.
