Donetsk Situation Report, 22.10.2018


For the past 24 hours, there have been recorded THIRTY ceasefire violations by the enemy who has shelled the areas of TWENTY-TWO settlements of the Republic.

In the Gorlovka direction, from the position of the 58th motorized infantry brigade, under the command of the war criminal DRAPATOV, the enemy opened fire from infantry fighting vehicles weapons, heavy machine guns and small arms on the settlements of VERKHNETORETSKOYE, SHIROKAYA BALKA, DOLOMITNOYE, ZAYTSEVO, GOLMOVSKY, OZERYANOVKA and the IZOTOV and GAGARIN mines.

In the Donetsk direction, from the positions of the 92nd and 28th motorized brigades, under the command of the punishers KOKOREV and MARCHENKO respectively, as well as the 56th motorized infantry brigade, under the command of IVANOV, the enemy shelled the areas of the settlements of YASINOVATAYA, KRUTAYA BALKA, KASHTANOVOYE, MINERALNOYE, LUGANSKOYE, STAROMIKHAYLOVKA, TRUDOVSLIYE, ALEXANDROVKA, LOZOVOYE, SPARTAK and the DONETSK Airport with IFV weapons, grenade launchers, large-caliber machine guns and small arms.

In the Mariupol direction, the military of the 79th air assault brigade, on orders of the punisher KURACH, launched EIGHTEEN 120 and 82 mm mortar shells on the areas of the settlements of LENINSKOYE and SAKHANKA, and uses infantry fighting vehicles weapons, grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and small arms to shell the areas of the settlements of KOMINTERNOVO and NOVOLASPA.

As a result of sniper fire, for the past 24 hours, one soldier of the DPR People's Militia was wounded and taken to a medical institution where he died from his wounds.


Despite the commitments undertaken by the Ukrainian political leadership to observe the cease-fire regime, the ounishers of the 79th brigade that has just come to the UFO zone, ignore all peace processes. Once again, cynically spitting on the comprehensive, indefinite “School ceasefire”, the Ukrainian military, on the orders of the brigade commander, the criminal KURACH, opened fire from prohibited types of weapons, such as mortars and artillery.

The day before,  these vile attacks resulted in three of our defenders killed. We express our condolences to the families of the casualties and appeal to international organizations, the OSCE above all, with a request to strongly condemn the criminal actions of the Ukrainian side.

In addition, we responsibly declare that our intelligence has discovered all positions of artillery and mortar units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which open fire in violation of all the agreements. In order to ensure the safety of citizens of the Republic, as well as to save the lives of our defenders, these units positions will be destroyed by return fire from weapons not prohibited by the Minsk Agreements.


The crime situation in the UFO area remains critical. Despite the measures taken by the command, the AFU military accustomed to impunity, continue to commit crimes of varying severity.

For the past 24 hours, law enforcement officers have detained FOUR servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a state of alcohol and drug intoxication.

In addition, over the past 24 hours, a civilian has suffered at the hands of the punishers of the 28th brigade in the settlement of Maryinka. Civilian Bezotosny born in 1978 received a gunshot wound to his leg. He became a victim of drunken clashes between the Ukrainian invaders near a grocery convenience store.
