For the past day, there have been recorded TWENTY-SIX violations of the cease-fire by the enemy who has shelled the areas of SEVENTEEN settlements.
In the Gorlovka direction, the military of the 72th motorized brigade and the 58th motorized infantry brigade, led by the war criminals TATUS and DRAPATY, used grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and small arms on the areas of the settlements of ZAYTSEVO, GOLMOVSKY, OZERYANOVKA, SHIROKAYA BALKA, the Gagarin and 6/7 mine.
In the Donetsk direction, from the positions of the 92nd motorized and 56th motorized infantry brigades, under the command of the punishers KOKOREV and IVANOV respectively, the fire was opened from 82 mm mortars, grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and small arms on the areas of the settlements of YASINOVATAYA, KRUTAYA BALKA, MINERALNOYE, KASHTANOVOYE, LUGANSKOYE, ALEXANDROVKA, SPARTAK, TRUDOVSKIYE and the airport of DONETSK city.
In the Mariupol direction, the war criminal, the commander of the 36th Marine brigade, GNATOV, ordered an attack on the settlements of KOMINTERNOVO and SAKHANKA, using 82 and 120 mm mortars, as well as grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and small arms.
In the AFU units, the number of non-combat losses continues to increase.
In particular, on October 15, in the area of the settlement of KRASNOGOROVKA, in the zone of responsibility of the 28th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as a result of violations of fire safety requirements while working with a furnace, a dugout caught fire. As a result of the detonation of the ammunition in it, ONE soldier died while fighting the fire, another TWO were injured.
In the settlement of AVDEEVKA,1 km away from the contact line, a traffic accident occurred. An infantry fighting vehicle of the 56th brigade hit a civil car which was being driven by servicemen of the 92nd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result of the accident, two soldiers who were travelling in the car, died. The accident was caused the IFV driver who was driving in a drunken state and got into the oncoming traffic.
We expect that, as usual, the UFO command will present these losses as received as a result of mythical bombardments by the DPR People;s Militia.
One of the main problems of the Ukrainian army, along with moral decay and low level of control over the personnel, is corruption which is widespread at all levels of the military leadership.
In particular, according to the information from a source in the 92th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the brigade’s servicemen have to pay up to a third of their allowance to their commanders. For certain offenses, the servicemen can even be deprived of their payments for a month, or even two. I want to note that the war criminal, the commander of the 92nd separate motorized brigade, KOKOREV, personally conducts inspections in the subordinate units in order to identify soldiers who have applied to the military prosecutor’s office with statements of extortion.
The problem of corruption will only be strengthened while the economy of Ukraine is at the medieval state level of development.
