Donetsk Situation Report, 20.10.2018


For the past day, there have been recorded TWENTY-FOUR violations of the cease-fire by the enemy who has shelled the the areas of FIFTEEN settlements.

In the Gorlovka direction, from the positions of the 72nd motorized and 58th motorized infantry brigades, under the command of criminals TATUS and DRAPATOV respectively, the enemy attacked the areas of the settlement of ZAITSEVO, the GAGARIN and IZOTOV mines with the IFV armaments, 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, grenade launchers, large-caliber machine guns and small arms to shell the areas of the settlements of SPARTAK, YAKOVLEVKA. KRUTAYA BALKA, YASINOVATAYA, STAROMIKHAYLOVKA, ALEXANDROVKA, ZHABICHEVO, and the airport of DONETSK city.

In the Mariupol direction, the war criminals of the 79th airborne brigade, by order of Colonel KURACH, launched over TEN 82 mm mortar shells on the areas of the settlements of KOMINTERNOVO, LENINSKOYE, NOVAYA TAVRIA and SAKHANKA, and also used grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and small-arms.

The information on casualties and destructions is being specified.


Despite the full observance of the cease-fire by the servicemen of the DPR People’s Militia, the commander of the 28th brigade and his subordinates continue to mislead the UFO command, reporting nonexistent bombardments of his positions, thus writing off the lost and sold property the shortage of which was revealed during the inventory.

According to the information available to us, the commander of the 1st battalion of the 28th brigade sold a UAZ-462 vehicle to local residents and then, in order to conceal this fact, reported the destruction of the vehicle as a result of shelling by the DPR People's Militia units.

The commanders of the 56th and 92nd brigades in which a shortage of property was also revealed, are planning to act in the same way. In particular, in the 56th brigade a ZIL-131 vehicle was missing, and in the 92nd brigade a GAZ-66 vehicle and spare parts for automotive vehicles. We do not exclude that in the near future the commanders of the above units will report this technique as destroyed in shelling.

Theft, corruption, smuggling and lies have become an integral part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, permeating all levels of service from soldier to general.

Thus, we can see that despite the attention of the world community to the problem of Donbass, the Ukrainian command is doing what it can best, that is to terrorize civilians and plunder the remnants of the armed forces that Ukraine inherited from the Soviet army.
