2/n First of all, it's important to note that not all ammunition depots are the same. I've decided to categorize those within 500 km of the Ukrainian border. We start with those which are old and not particularly rugged, which I define as Class 1. These are Soviet-era ammo… pic.twitter.com/Adv80duzv7
