Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine violated the ceasefire 45 times, still using in the shelling of the territory of the Republic heavy weapons prohibited by the Minsk Agreements.
The latest amount of bombardments is again recorded in the Donetsk direction, where 29 attacks were recorded.
On the area of the localities Krutaya Balka, Yasinovataya, Yakovlevka, Spartak, Zhabichevo, the Petrovsky and Kirovsky districts of Donetsk city, the enemy launched 28 122 and 152mm artillery shells, 5 MLRS shells, 20 tank shells and 495 mortar shells of various caliber. As a result of the shelling of the locality of Krutaya Balka, there was killed one civilian, Raisa Buriva born in 1955, and another was wounded, Vitaly Nakrapas born in 1983. In addition, in this locality, there were damaged four residential houses. In the Petrovsky district of Donetsk city another two houses were damaged.
In the Gorlovka direction, in the artillery and mortar shelling from the AFU positions, there were damaged eight buildings in the locality of Golmovsky, including two schools. In this direction, the enemy launched on the territory of the Republic 7 122mm artillery shells and 18 mortar shells of various caliber.
In the Mariupol direction, the enemy launched 8 122mm artillery shells and 24 82 and 120mm mortar shells on the area of the localities Kominternovo, Leninskoye, Oktyabr and Sakhanka.
In addition, we recorded the enemy’s active use of various types of grenade launchers and small arms in the shelling of the territory of the Republic along the entire contact line.
The Ukrainian side once again showed its beastly face. In particular, an ambulance that arrived to two victims of an artillery strike on the locality of Krutaya Balka, could not pass because of the continuing shelling. The evacuation of the wounded and the deceased was carried out by our soldiers under fire.
The most terrible thing is that, having received data about the arrival of the ambulance, the Ukrainian fascists just increased the intensity of the shelling.
At the same time, all the bombardments, including with MLRS «Grad», are taking place against the background of the openly false statement of the Defense Minister Poltorak in Germany that Ukraine does not plan to regain control over Donbass by force.
