According to our data, the Ukrainian command has completely lost control over the AFU units in the Debaltsevo direction.

On December 18, the military of the 54th brigade of the AFU opened provocative fire on the positions of the People's Militia in the area of ​​the locality of Kalinovka. As far as we know, the superior command had not given the order of such actions.

There is information that the Ukrainian army soldiers were in a state of alcohol and, possibly, drug intoxication.

It is also possible that it was another provocation of the AFU on the eve of the trilateral working meeting of the Contact group in Minsk for the settlement of the conflict in Donbass.

A reasonable question arises, who and why needs these casualties on the eve of New Year and Christmas holidays, and how long the international community will avoid reacting to the lawlessness on the part of the AFU, and what role the OSCE SMM is playing.

The AFU command APU understates the real losses of the personnel in the armed clashes by several times, as, according to the ATO headquarters, the AFU losses have amounted to 5 men killed and 6 wounded, while we definitely know of over 10 men dead and over 30 wounded.
