Russia increased supplies of military equipment and weapons to the conflict zone in eastern Ukraine in December

This is stated in the report of the Main Intelligence Directorate on the website of the Ministry of Defense, Ukrinform reports.

In particular, the occupiers secretly brought fuel, military equipment, weapons and ammunition, electronic warfare equipment, and unmanned aerial vehicles by rail and road from the territory of the Russian Federation to the formations and units of the 1st (Donetsk) and 2nd (Luhansk) army corps. The occupiers also used so-called “humanitarian convoys” to covertly supply military equipment.
