DONETSK, March 14. /TASS/. Ukrainian troops have reduced to a minimum the use of heavy artillery systems near Avdeyevka due to the shortage of munitions, Igor Kimakovsky, adviser to the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), told TASS.

"Our artillerymen have eliminated a large number of Ukrainian firing positions in the Avdeyevka area, hit dozens of targets in recent days. They have opted to pull the surviving vehicles off the engagement line. Only a few isolated units stay in place. So, Ukrainian artillery practically is not used in this section of the front," he said.

Kimakovsky added that Ukrainian troops are mostly using FPV drones in this area.
