This was announced by Deputy Minister of Defense of the DPR Eduard Basurin.
“The militia of the Donetsk People's Republic will proactively begin to withdraw artillery from the contact line. We intend to proactively begin the withdrawal of DPR artillery from quiet areas along the demarcation line - where the Ukrainian side complies with the Minsk agreements,” he said.
As PolitNavigator reported, the parties previously stated that they were not yet ready to withdraw heavy weapons due to the shelling. Thus, in Kyiv they talked about prepared sites for equipment.
