The situation in the Donetsk People’s Republic starts deteriorating.
Over the past day, the Ukrainian military violated the ceasefire 130 times.
After signing the document about the separating the sides in Minsk, the commander of the 58th separate mechanized infantry brigade Dropaty decided to justify the high confidence in him, and was the first to use artillery on the peaceful population of the Republic. This murderous criminal launched 35 122mm artillery shells at the airport area.
It looks particularly cynical after the report, of September 24, of the Chief of the General Staff of Ukraine, Muzhenko to the deputy head of the OSCE CMM in Ukraine, Alexander Hug about the full compliance of the Ukrainian side with the «silence regime».
In addition, on the territory of the Republic, there were launched 38 82 and 120mm mortar shells. The enemy also used in the shelling infantry fighting vehicles, grenade launchers and small arms.
There were shelled the following localities: Zaytsevo, Ozeryanovka, Yasinovataya, Mineralnoye, Alexandrovka, the airport area and the Petrovsky district of Donetsk city.
We demand that the representatives of the OSCE mission and the Ukrainian side of the JCCC to rein in the presumptuous commanders of the AFU brigades and maintain the fragile peace that was established in Donbass.
We offer the Ukrainian side to carefully read the recent statement by the Foreign Minister of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and in particular, the plan of settlement of the conflict in the south-east of Ukraine, which was approved by all members of the Norman format.
Our intelligence continues to reveal facts of the presence of the prohibited weapons along the contact line.
- In Chermalyk (2.5 km away from the contact line), there were detected two 122mm motorized artillery systems «Gvozdika»;
- In Novosyolovka Vtoraya (6 km away from the contact line), there was detected one battery of 122mm towed howitzers D-30.
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 and JCCC.
In their turn, the DPR People's Militia units fully observe the Minsk Agreements and comply with the ceasefire.
