A large number of weapons provided by NATO countries has been found in the city of Avdiivka in Donetsk, apparently left behind by Ukrainian soldiers who had departed the area in a hurry.
Exclusive footage shot by China Global Television Network (CGTN) correspondent Dmitriy Maslak on Sunday showed the weapons seized by local militia included German anti-tank rockets, U.S.-made M72 LAW anti-tank rockets and grenade launchers.
A box loaded with 82mm mortar bombs was labeled "Embassy of Ukraine" and "Czech Republic" and also featured contract numbers, dates and the serial numbers of products.
"They mainly use howitzer D-30, mounted anti-tank grenade launchers, tanks and all possible armament, such as 40 mm grenades. Often they send drones to scout each corner," said a militia officer who gave his code-name as "Jeweler".
Before the conflict broke out, the militiamen say they worked across a diverse field of jobs from miners to taxi drivers and IT professionals. However, they said they were compelled to take up arms in order to protect their hometowns from destruction.
