01:50, 24.05.2017

The Ukrainian military occupied almost the entire «gray zone» in the vicinity of the localities Donetsky and Zhelobok. This was stated by the deputy commander of the company of the LPR People's Militia, Roman «Rome». 

‘Meter per meter, the APU are approaching under the cover of shelling. They shell us with mortars, grenade launchers and, while the personnel is in the shelter, move forward,’ stated the soldier. 

‘Afterwards, in the dark, they set temporary fire points and begin to work on our positions. Of course, this is all done in a hurry, so shells land not on our positions, but in the locality, on civilians,’ he added. 

‘In this way, the «gray zone» in the area of Donetsky and Zhelobjk actually does not exist anymore. In fact, they are 600 meters away from us everywhere,’ said the deputy commander. 

«Rome» explained that by respecting the Minsk Agreements, the People's Militia can not open fire on the advancing enemy, although it has ‘every opportunity to drive the AFU out of the «gray zone» ‘. 

‘We do not respond to their provocative actions,’ the soldier said. 

‘We have an order, we do not go for them as we have our positions that were negotiated in Minsk, we defend them and do not leave our zone of responsibility,’ he added.
