Donetsk Situation Report, 10.10.2018


For the past 24 hours, TWENTY-TWO violations of the cease-fire regime by the enemy have been recorded, with EIGHTEEN settlements shelled.

In the Gorlovka direction, from the positions of the 72nd motorized and 58th motorized infantry brigades, under the command of the war criminals TATUS and DRAPATOV respectively, the enemy shelled the settlements of ZAYTSEVO, SHIROKAYA BALKA and the GAGARINA mine with grenade launchers, large-caliber machine guns and small arms.

In the Donetsk direction, the military of the 92nd and 28th motorized brigades, under the command of KOKOREV and MARCHENKO respectively, as well as the 56th motorized infantry brigade, under the command of IVANOV, used weapons of infantry fighting vehicles, 120 and 82 mm mortars, grenade launchers, large-caliber machine guns and small arms on the areas of the settlements of KRUTAYA BALKA, YASINOVATAYA, SPARTAK, VOLVO-CENTER, LUGANSKOYE, VASILYEVKA, MINERALNOYE, KASHTANOVOYE and the Petrovsky district of DONETSK city.

In the Mariupol direction, the war criminals of the 128th mountain assault brigade and the 36th Marine brigade, commanded by Sobko and GNATOV respectively, launched FIFTY 82 and 120 mm mortar shells on the areas of the settlements of KOMINTERNOVO, LENINSKOYE, SAKHANKA, DZERZHINSKOYE, BEZYMENNOYE and NOVOLASPA, and also used various types of grenade launchers, large-caliber machine guns and small arms.

As a result of the bombardments of the Ukrainian military with large-caliber machine guns and small arms, a residential building in Gorky St, 297 received facade and glazing damage in the settlement of Aleksandrovka, and another house in Gagarin St, 2 received glazing damage in the settlement of Staromikhaylovka.


The staffing level of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the so-called UFO zone is still at a low level. According to the information we received from a source in the 128th mountain assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it became known that due to the lack of personnel, the commanders of the units performing tasks on the front line, leave one soldier for the whole night, and give time to recreation to the rest. This fact was revealed by the brigade headquarters officers during a sudden inspection of the organization of service in the units forward positions at night. In one of the brigade units, in the area of ​​the settlement of STAROGNATOVKA, the inspectors even found an empty position, as the soldier who was supposed to carry the service at that time, had left the front line without permission and disappeared with a weapon in an unknown direction. The revealed incidents and violations are being investigated by the command of the brigade.


Against the background of poor-quality food supply of the units of the 36th Marine brigade located on the front line, conflicts between the so-called warriors of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and civilians in nearby communities have become more frequent. In particular, the Ukrainian invaders began to carry out armed raids on grocery stores and rob local residents of their food stocks prepared for the winter.

Tired of robberies by the punishers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, entrepreneurs of the SARTANA settlement have sttod up todefend their property. In particular, during one of the raids, they detained at the crime scene and beat a serviceman of the 36th Brigade, soldier Kutsenko, after which he was handed over to the military service officers of law and order. The villagers are planning to form an armed squad to protect their property from the so-called “defenders” whose attitude to the civilian population reminds of that of the Nazis from the SS division “Galicia”, who are currently an example to follow for the Ukrainian occupiers.
