“During the night, militants in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, ignoring the peaceful option to resolve the situation in eastern Ukraine, fired mortars towards the border with the Russian Federation, at the positions of Ukrainian border guards and the locations of the ATO forces,” said Vladislav Seleznev, press officer of the ATO headquarters.
In particular, as a result of shelling in the area of the Izvarzino checkpoint, 9 border guards were injured: snipers are working.
According to Seleznev, “provoking Ukrainian units into a fire confrontation,” the militia fired small arms, heavy machine guns and AGS-17 automatic grenade launchers at a unit stationed in Avdiivka.
As Navigator reported, yesterday Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko announced a cessation of the ATO for a week, but left the security forces the right to “respond” in the event of an attack. In turn, the speaker of the Supreme Council of the DPR Denis Pushilin said that he does not believe Poroshenko’s words, and negotiations with Kiev are possible only through the mediation of Russia and international organizations, as well as after the deployment of peacekeeping troops. The leader of the “Luhansk People’s Republic” Valery Bolotov in his commentary emphasized that the militias will lay down their arms only after the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops or when the “mercenaries” are completely destroyed.
