Over the past day the Ukrainian occupation forces have increased the intensity of shelling the territory of the Republic.
In the Donetsk direction, the military of the 93rd separate motorized brigade, led by the war criminal Klochkov, continued shelling the residential quarters of the settlement of Dokuchaevsk. As a result of a bombardment with 120 mm mortars and IFV arms, two houses are damaged in the streets Vatutina, 9 and Centralnaya, 93. The Kirovsky district of Donetsk was shelled with IFV arms by the military from the 28th separate motorized brigade under the command of M.Marchenko.
In the Mariupol direction, the area of the settlement of KOMINTERNOVO was attacked by the Ukrainian terrorists from the 36th separate Marines brigade, led by war criminal A. Gnatov, who shelled it with 120 mm mortars, launching four mortars. In addition, the shelling was carried out with various types of grenade launchers and small arms, including large-caliber weapons.
In just one day, seven violations of the ceasefire regime by the Ukrainian occupation forces were registered, as a result of which ONE defender of the Republic was killed and ONE wounded.
The crimes of the military from the 28th separate motorized brigade, namely regular bombardments of the settlements of the Republic, have overfilled the cup of patienceof the OSCE Mission leadership, which, in order to fix violations of the cease-fire regime by the brigade command, has planned the installation of video monitoring cameras in the areas of the settlements KRASNOHOROVKA and BERYOZOVOYE. I would like to hope that these measures taken by the OSCE will help cool the hot heads of the bandits from the 28th separate motorized brigade.
We also noted the arrival and work of representatives of the Ukrainian charitable foundation "The Right to Defense" in the area of responsibility of the 28th separate motorized brigade in order to familiarize with the situation and provide assistance to civilians in the area of the settlements Kurakhovo and Maryinka. According to the information available to us, the command of the brigade has planned to increase the provocative shelling of the DPR units with the aim of calling the return fire, for discrediting the units and the leadership of the People's Republic in the eyes of the Ukrainian charitable organizations.
I would also like to note that our intelligence has discovered the work on equipping new positions for mortar calculations in the zone of responsibility of the 1st battalion of the 93rd separate motorized brigade, in the vicinity of the settlement NOVOTROITSKOYE. In this regard, we do not exclude the increase in provocative shelling of our positions and appeal to the OSCE mission to pay attention to this fact and prevent the delivery of mortars banned by the Minsk agreements, to the Ukrainian positions.
