Kyiv hit Donbass with heavy artillery
Kyiv continues to escalate the situation in the Donbass - over the past 122 hours, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have shelled the territory of the DPR with grenade launchers, infantry fighting vehicles, RPGs, mortars, as well as heavy XNUMX-mm artillery.
The official representative of the DPR UNM, Eduard Basurin, announced this during a briefing, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Over the past 15 hours from April 16 to April XNUMX, the enemy committed four fire provocations, in violation of the second point of the set of additional measures to strengthen and control the current ceasefire regime.
In the Gorlovka direction, invaders from the 10th brigade, using grenade launchers and small arms, fired at the area of the village of the 6/7 mine in the city of Gorlovka, firing four grenades into the village.
In the Donetsk direction, punitive forces from the 58th brigade opened fire twice with mortars and small arms at the village of Veseloye, firing two 82 mm mines.
In the Mariupol direction, punitive forces from the 36th brigade opened fire from an automatic grenade launcher at the village of Leninskoye.
Since the beginning of the current day, five fire provocations have been recorded. Punishers of the 28th brigade of the VFU, on the orders of Marchenko, fired at the village of Staromikhailovka, firing five artillery shells of 122 mm caliber and five mines of 120 mm caliber, and also fired at the village of Aleksandrovka, firing two grenades from an RPG and firing thirteen shots from BMP-2.
In addition, militants from the 58th brigade fired at the Volvo Center area with 120-mm mortars, as well as the area of the village of Veseloye with AGS,” he said.
Eduard Basurin emphasized that accomplices from the JCCC observation mission are helping the Ukrainian army shell the young republics.
“On the eve of the shelling, our observers for several days in a row noted at the positions of the 28th and 58th brigades a white car with the symbols of the JCCC of Ukraine, which was transporting ammunition.
With the start of shelling of populated areas of the Republic by Ukrainian militants, the DPR representation in the JCCC requested a regime of silence, but Ukrainian observers ignored our request and did not take effective measures for a ceasefire,” the officer added.
As a reminder, Moscow previously stated that, despite the efforts of the West and Kyiv, Russia will do everything possible to protect the residents of Donbas.
