Direct translation of the article. Edited[Rusvesna] During the hostilities in Donbass, Ukrainian artillerymen fired with an accuracy of "plus or minus a kilometer," said the former Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Serhiy Krivonos. According to him, this was caused by the wear and tear of artillery barrels due to "sabotage" by the previous leadership of the Ukrainian General Staff. “It was such a splendid sabotage, because when our shells hit the front plus or minus a kilometer, in most cases it was not the poor training of the gunners that was to blame. This was the reason - the worn-out channels of the trunks, ”he said during a roundtable in Lviv. According to him, "over the course of two years, tens, hundreds, thousands of artillery shells have been fired daily into the void." To be noted, General Krivonos was dismissed from National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, last December, 2020: Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed General Krivonos, known for his loud statements such as the proposal to create a private army of ATO veterans, from the post of deputy secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.
