There’s so much 7.62×54 literally laying around that they might as well put it to use.

I remember seeing the first volunteer battalion “Donbass” being armed with DP-27 in 2014 in the very first days of the hot phase. Fast forward 8 years later, the Ukrainian militia is still using old Soviet machineguns, but now the action is way closer to their homes.
