MOSCOW, December 6. /TASS/. Scouts of battlegroup West penetrated deep into the Ukrainian rear and destroyed a depot of NATO firearms in the Kupyansk direction, the Defense Ministry said.

"The weather, inattention of the adversary and its combat line help us covertly cross the contact line to rear areas. We often do not meet any resistance, as they do not see us or because of a rapid leap and destruction of observers," senior scout with call sign Froll said.

After the mission, the scouts returned back without losses.
