The situation in the Donetsk People’s Republic remains tense.
Over the past day, the Ukrainian military violated the ceasefire 230 times, including 111 cases of using mortars of different calibers.
During the day, the commanders of the Ukrainian military Drapaty, Shaptala, Vlasenko, Kabitsky and Matseyko gave orders to shell the localities Zheleznaya Balka, Zaytsevo, Yasinovataya, Staromikhaylovka, Alexandrovka, Dokuchaevsk, Kominternovo, Sakhanka and Trudovskiye of the Petrovsky district of Donetsk city.
As a result of the mortar shelling by the Ukrainian military of the locality Trudovskiye, there was wounded the Goncharov family, Lidiya Goncharova born in 1955 and her son, Dmitry born in 1985, who were taken to hospital with injuries of different severity.
In the Locality of Yasinovataya, also from the mortar shelling, there damaged three households, as well as another household in the locality of Sakhanka.
Our intelligence continues to reveal facts of the presence of the AFU prohibited weapons in the «ATO» area, along the contact line.
- In Kurdyumovka (7 km away from the contact line), on the territory of a plant and the Artyomovsky stone-pit, there was detected a cluster of eight 122mm motorized artillery systems «Gvozdika»;
- In Dzerzhinsk (5 km away from the contact line), there was detected a cluster of the AFU equipment, including five tanks and four 122mm motorized artillery systems «Gvozdika»;
- In Kleban Byk (16 km away from the contact line), there were detected six 152mm motorized artillery systems «Akatsia»;
- In Dokuchaevsk (1 km away from the contact line), there were detected two 120mm mortars;
- In Shirokaya Balka (2 km away from the contact line) arrived 40 Polish mercenaries on two trucks;
- In Verkhnetoretskoye (4 km away from the contact line), there was detected the arrival of up to 100 men of the Ukrainian Volunteer Corps «Right Sector», who are occupying residential houses, despite complaints of the local population.
We passed all the data about the Minsk Agreements violations by the Ukrainian side and the location of the AFU prohibited weapons to representatives of the OSCE mission and JCCC.
Failed attacks of the Ukrainian military in the south of the Republic, their shelling with artillery and mortars in the daytime, by which homes are destroyed and the civilian population is affected, as well as our intelligence data about the presence of the AFU prohibited weapons near the contact line, even without disguising them, indicate only one thing, namely, that the Ukrainian command completely ignores the Minsk Agreements and disregards all the statements of the OSCE mission in their belief that they will not be accountable for it because they are «the great Ukrainian nation» «standing» in the defense of Europe.
