For the past day, there have been recorded NINETEEN ceasefire violations by the enemy who has shelled the areas of THIRTEEN settlements.
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 areas of the settlements of ZAYTSEVO, SHIROKAYA BALKA and the Gagarin mine in the GORLOVKA city were attacked 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 82-mm mortars, weapons of infantry fighting vehicles, grenade launchers, large-caliber machine guns and small arms on the areas of the settlements of SPARTAK, TRUDOVSKIYE, KRUTAYA BALKA, MINERALNOYE and ALEXANDROVKA.
In the Mariupol direction, the war criminals of the 36th Marine brigade, under the orders of GNATOV, launched over THIRTY 120 mm mortar shells and also used different types of grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and small arms on the areas of the settlements of KOMINTERNOVO, LENINSKOYE, SAKHANKA, NOVAYA TAVRIYA and ZAICHENKO.
We are once again shocked at the cynicism of the AFU command blindly following Poroshenko’s criminal orders to use all types of weapons on the residents of Donbass.
On the eve of the next meeting of the tripartite contact group in Minsk, the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine opened fire from 120-mm mortars on the residential areas of the settlement of Maryevka in the Lugansk People's Republic.
As a result, two civilian women died, a mother born in 1971 and her daughter born in 2001.
We express our condolences to the victims' family and declare that these crimes will not go unpunished. The tribunal is waiting for all the war criminals.
The level of military discipline in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is still at a low level. Our intelligence continues to uncover the facts of not only the use of narcotic and alcoholic substances by the Ukrainian servicemen, but also the crimes committed by them in the state of intoxication.
A sergeant BELOKON, a serviceman of the 92nd brigade, being under the influence of psychotropic substances, left a platoon stronghold in the area of VERKHNETORETSKOYE. After that, the delirious serviceman took up defense at a 200m distance and opened fire from a machine gun at his fellow soldiers. He did not react to the demands of his comrades to surrender, just shouting nationalist slogans. As a result, he was killed.
The commander of a company of the 128th mountain assault brigade became another victim of an uncontrolled soldier in a narcotic state. During the inspection of observation posts in the area of the settlement NOVOTROITSKOYE, captain MIROSHNICHENKO found the personnel taking narcotic substances, for which he paid with his life. After verbal altercation, one of the servicemen grabbed a machine gun and opened fire in the back of his commander.
All these cases speak of the inability of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to restore order in their units, as well as the despair of the tired Ukrainian soldiers hiding from the war in a drug and alcohol rage.
