The Armed Forces of Ukraine were planning to go on the offensive, but their plans were ruined by an insurmountable obstacle, rain. It was stated by the Head of the DPR Alexander Zakharchenko at a press conference in Donetsk.

‘There was information about an attempt of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to make a breakthrough in the area Spartak - Yasinovataya. But it began to rain, and Ukrainian equipment that had not had time to go back from the parade, just could not leave the field. It could not overcome an insurmountable obstacle in the form of rain.

Our intelligence works quite successfully. We are aware of all actions taken by Ukraine. Next time, we will simply regard it as a provocation. And we will take appropriate measures. You know what could follow. Remember the airport and Debaltsevo,’ said Zakharchenko.
