This is stated in a message from the ATO press center. “Analyzing the first XNUMX hours after the start of the truce, we can say that illegal armed groups do not comply with the signed agreements.
Since the beginning of the “silence” regime, the enemy has used multiple launch rocket systems 31 times, tanks 4 times, and artillery and mortars 56 times,” the ATO headquarters said.
In turn, the DPR is also counting violations of the truce by Ukrainian security forces. The official representative of the DPR in the contact group for a peaceful settlement, Denis Pushilin, said that Ukrainian security forces shelled Gorlovka on the evening of Sunday, February 15.
“Three shelling of Gorlovka by Ukrainian Armed Forces artillery was recorded. One shell hit the Emergency Situations Ministry base in the Kalinovka area. As a result, the roof of the building was damaged. There were also hits in residential areas of the Central district of the city and in the Perovo district. This causes the greatest concern,” he noted.
According to Pushilin, an appeal was made to representatives of the OSCE mission so that they “influence the command of the ATO headquarters for a ceasefire in the city.” At the same time, Ukrainian security forces accused the militias of being the ones who shelled Gorlovka.
