He said the SMAW rocket launcher is the only foreign weapon he has seen in almost a year in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"In the Zhytomyr Region, in the forest, without rockets... they showed once how to [use SMAW], but we have not fired," Grachev said.
Earlier, Grachev told Sputnik that fellow Ukrainian soldiers left him wounded in a dugout for two months, while he received first aid only from Russian military personnel.
Russia has been conducting its special military operation since February 24, 2022. President Vladimir Putin has said the operation aims to "protect people subjected to genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years." According to the president, the ultimate goal of the operation is to completely liberate Donbas and create conditions that guarantee Russia's security.
