For the past 24 hours, there have been registered NINETEEN violations of the cease-fire regime by the enemy that has shelled the areas of ELEVEN settlements of the Republic.

In the Gorlovka direction, the war criminals of the 72nd motorized brigade, under the command of TATUS, shelled the area of ​​the settlement of DOLOMITNOYE with large-caliber machine guns and small arms.

In the Donetsk direction, from the positions of the 92nd and 28th motorized brigades, under the command of the punishers KOKOREV and MARCHENKO respectively, as well as the 56th motorized infantry brigade, under the command of IVANOV, used 120 and 82 mm mortars, grenade launchers, large-caliber machine guns and small arms to shell the areas of the settlements of ZHABICHEVO, YASINOVATAYA, VASILYEVKA, SPARTAK, STAROMIKHAYLOVKA, LUGANSKOYE, as well as the VOLVO CENTER area and Petrovsky district of DONETSK city.

In the Donetsk direction, in the area of ​​responsibility of the 56th brigade in the area of ​​the settlement of PESKI, the intensification of the work of the enemy's sniper groups is noted.


We continue to record violations by the Ukrainian side of the Minsk agreements in terms of the use of unmanned aircraft. The highest flight activity is noted in the Donetsk direction where the Ukrainian military used them to spot the mortar fire.

Owing to the coordinated actions of the DPR People's Militia air defense units, the Ukrainian punishers of the 28th brigade have lost another quadcopter-type UAV used by them to spot the fire in the area of ​​the settlement of STAROMIKHAYLOVKA.


We continue to record a decline in the level of military discipline of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the UFO zone. On October 29 of the current year, during an inspection, the military personnel of the law and order found FOUR soldiers of the 22nd battalion in a state of intoxication on the positions of the 92nd brigade, at the forefront in the area of ​​the settlement of KAMENKA.

In addition, we continue to receive information about non-combat losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine due to abusing alcohol and drugs by the soldiers. In particular, on October 29, a soldier of the 15th battalion of the 128th brigade, private Dyachenko was killed in the area of ​​the settlement of STAROGNATOVKA as a result of a violation of safety measures while handling a grenade, with another two soldiers injured.

These facts once again confirm the critically low moral and psychological state of the Armed Forces of Ukraine personnel who continue to use alcohol as the only available antidepressant.
