Donetsk Situation Report, 23.10.2018


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

In the Gorlovka direction, from the positions of the 72nd motorized and 58th motorized infantry brigades, under the command of the war criminals TATUS and DRAPATOV respectively, the enemy shelled the areas of the settlements of ZAYTSEVO, DOLOMITNOYE and the GAGARIN mine with 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 grenade launchers, large-caliber machine guns and small arms in shelling the settlements of STAROMIKHAYLOVKA, YASINOVATAYA SPARTAK, ALEXANDROVKA, KRUTAYA BALKA, YASNOYE,  the area of ​​the airport of DONETSK city and the settlement of the TRUDOVSKAYA mine.

In the Mariupol direction, the war criminals of the 79th airborne brigade, on the orders of the punisher KURACH, used grenade launchers, large-caliber machine guns and small arms on the areas of the settlements of KOMINTERNOVO and SAKHANKA.

The information on casualties and destructions is being specified.


We continue to record the growth of non-combat losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the UFO zone, due to a low level of military discipline of the personnel.

In particular, in the area of ​​the settlement of TALAKOVKA, a serviceman of the 79th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, private Semenchenko, while intoxicated, left his post at night and departed to the village. While returning to the place of duty, the so-called warrior decided to make a short-cute and went out to the AFU minefield where he was blown up on an anti-personnel mine. It should be noted that the dead soldier had served in the Armed Forces of Ukraine for exactly two weeks. According to the information available to us, this was his THIRD combat duty and he had not even been enrolled in the unit;s personnel lists. Most likely this fact will be hidden by the command of the brigade.


The Ukrainian punishers continue systematic terror of the population of Donbass. According to the information received from local residents, the military of the 16th battalion of the 58th brigade have set PWS anti-personnel guided land mines on the outskirts of the settlement of NOVGORODSKOE. The choice of mining sites and the distance from the contact line suggest that these mines were not set to strengthen the line of defense, but rather to kill civilians. SIX of the ten mining points are located on country roads used by residents of the above area.

I want to appeal to civilians in the border areas with the request to be extremely careful, avoid movement in the dark, and use routes that pass through open areas.
