The DPR: the Ukrainian security forces opened fire along the whole demarcation line in Donbass
The Ukrainian military violated the cease-fire regime along the whole demarcation line in Donbass, said the deputy defense minister of the Donetsk People’s Republic Eduard Basurin. “For the first time (since the cease-fire was established) violations are noted along the whole demarcation line: Dokuchayevsk, Granitnoye, Logvinovo. The Ukrainian forces are concentrated most of all in the area of Donetsk and Mariupol, there is no such concentration in the north,” – he said on Saturday.
Basurin emphasized that the Ukrainian security forces strengthened their group in the region. “On the southern direction the militants of the “Azov” battalion were equipped with a new battery, which uses the tactic of maneuverable military action, shells our areas, and then changes its location in order to not be seen by the OSCE,” – said Basurin.
“The Ukrainian military are reinforced by new weapons and also with personnel. Mostly these are conscripts, who were deceptively sent into Donbass . We also noted the additional equipping and relocation of vehicles, reinforcements, and mining of the objects,” – he added.
PS. I can add to this. Our humanitarian workers returned from the DPR today. Yesterday they were near the SBU building in Donetsk, artillery and “Grads” were actively engaged in the area of Peski and Avdeyevka, it could be heard in the center of the city.
At Shirokino there’s fighting going on non-stop for several days altogether, our forces had up to 50 KIA and WIA over the recent days (mostly WIA), the junta had about 70. The enemy artillery is very strongly engaged.
Plus there is also information that the junta is deploying pontoons for crossing Seversky Donetsk and is pulling vehicles towards the supposed locations of crossing. Overall, to the question of “When?” almost all militia fighters and those who have to do with them reply “Soon”.
The MFA of the RF today openly and without excuses accused the junta of violating the Minsk agreements. So, overall, we continue to wait for that which is imminent.

Russian Foreign Ministry commented on the information that the Reuters journalists filmed heavy weapons of Ukrainian army at the line of contact in Donbass. Judging by the footage showed, the Foreign Ministry noted, the so-called battalion “Azov” used 122mm howitzers D-30, whose range is 22 km.
This video were captured in the area of the village Shirokino, the place that should be in the closest attention of the OSCE SMM… Thus, the statements of the Ukrainian authorities that all their heavy weapons have been withdrawn turn out a bluff again
– the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
In the first wave of mobilization the number of deserters was almost 30%. The president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said this on the TV channel “Inter”.
In the first wave of mobilization percentage of deserters was almost 30%. The mobilized soldiers were broken psychologically being under first fire and could not force themselves to go back to fight. They were shocked by the first military engagement, and they could not go there. After the training, after the Ukrainian soldiers go to fight with the new uniforms and skills, the percentage of deserters is less than 1% and it is the highest percentage among all the world’s armies in the world,
