The situation in the area of the People's Militia responsibility has not changed significantly over the past day and is characterized as stably tense and keeps a tendency to aggravation and escalation of the conflict in Donbass.
Yesterday the Ukrainian punishers of the AFU 54th separate mechanized brigade under the command of the war criminal, Colonel Voilokov A.N. once again violated the ceasefire regime. The Ukronazi carried out the shellings onto our positions placed in the areas of the localities of Lozovoye and Kalinovka. The shellings were carried out from the IFV (more than sixty shots).
The Ukrainian party continues carrying out the engineering works on the further equipping of the positions placed in the close proximity to the line of contact. Thus, in the area of the locality of Stanitsa Luganskaya on the positions of the AFU there were registered works on engineering further equipping with use of heavy machinery.
According to our intelligence information in the area of the locality of Stariy Aidar on the Seversky Donets River bank there were carried out trainings on speeding up of water barriers by the engineering troops of the AFU. In the so-called trainings there were used armoured personnel vehicles and engineering equipment for construction of the pontoon bridge. The trainings were carried out with use of smoke grenades.
Thus, the military political leadership of Ukraine continues considering the force way of the solution in Donbass conflict as the main one, actively resorting to the help of the foreign private military companies of the West.
In turn, all equipment which had been used in parade was withdrawn to the places of storage, according to the Minsk Arrangements yesterday. This fact of weapon withdrawal was registered by monitoring mission of the OSCE.
