Donetsk Situation Report, 22.09.2018


During the past 24 hours, the enemy has shelled the areas of THIRTEEN settlements.

In the Gorlovka direction, the areas of settlements of Zaytsevo, the mies GAGARIN and IZOTOV mines were shelled from the positions of the 72nd motorized and 58 motorized infantry brigades, led by the war criminals Tatus and Drapaty respectively, with grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and small arms.

In the Donetsk direction, the units of the 56th motorized infantry and 92nd and 28th motorized brigades, under the command of the war criminals Ivanov, Kokorev and Marchenko respectively, shelled the areas of settlements of YASINOVATAYA, MINERALNOYE, KRUTAYA BALKA , ALEXANDROVKA, Dokuchaevsk and the airport area of ​​DONETSK city withf infantry fighting vehicles, grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and small arms.

In the Mariupol direction, on the orders of the war criminal Gnatov, the units of the 36th Marine brigade used mortars, arms of infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and small arms to shell the areas of settlements of SAKHANKA, OCTOBER, KOMINTERNOVO and LENINSKOYE.

In addition, the enemy continues to actively use sniper teams in all the directions.

Twenty-four violations of the cease-fire regime were recorded in just 24 hours.


In the vicinity of the settlement of Gnutovo, from the positions of the punishers of the 36th Marine brigade, an unauthorized, chaotic fire was opened towards the settlement of KOMINTERNOVO, which created a threat to civilians and our servicemen.

To eliminate the threat posed by the AFU military, the DPR anti-tank unit launched a guided rocket, as a result of which the enemy's firing position was destroyed. But the Ukrainian grief-warriors' misfortune did not end with this failure as we watched an armored personnel carrier of the AFU, aimed for fire support, blew up on a land mine while approaching its own positions. This once again indicates the lack of elementary concepts of interaction in the AFU, as well as the order of mining areas near their own positions.

However, taking into account the arrival in the zone of responsibility of the 36th brigades of mass media controlled by the criminal regime and IPSO centers of the AFU special operations forces, which have been repeatedly caught in the preparation of fake news, it can be assumed that in the near future the mass media of Ukraine will present false publications and staged video clips about the destruction of the AFU logistics vehicle, a water transport or an ambulance on the contact line.


The military and political authorities of Ukraine continue to deceive their own soldiers: in order to reduce the cost of providing cash allowances of the AFU military, the central financial authorities have requested information from the military units about the number and categories of personnel staying in the UFO zone.

According to the telegram from the director of the Defense Ministry Finance Department, Dyachenko, the financial authorities are ordered to carry out the analysis and development of proposals to reduce the salaries of the military personnel, by identifying the categories subject to reduction in tariff categories according to the positions held, as well as additional payments coefficients, including for instructors and personal of armored vehicles crews.

In other words, if a serviceman stays in the UFO zone  but does not perform combat missions on the contact line, he will be deprived of a part of his monetary allowances, which may consequently entail the desire of the servicemen to prove their "norm" by performing combat tasks for maintaining payments, so we expect an increase in provocations by the Ukrainian military.

We are also afraid of inadequate behavior of the seprived servicemen in the settlements controlled by Kiev, which can harm the life and health of civilians.
