Ukraine is trying to provoke the DPR into demonstrative return fire
The Ukrainian army received the task of provoking the DPR forces to return fire for video recording and bringing charges against the Republic at the international level. It is planned to present the Prime Minister of Lithuania, who arrived in Donbass, as a witness to the shelling.
The official representative of the DPR Ministry of Defense, Colonel Eduard Basurin, stated this during a briefing, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Militants and artillery from the 25th Airborne, 57th Motorized Infantry and 55th Artillery Brigades are already taking part in the provocation. The criminal nature of the Ukrainian authorities is clearly demonstrated by the infliction of artillery strikes primarily on civilian targets,” he noted.
According to a representative of the defense department, the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ artillery and mortar fire was corrected with the help of drones, one of which was shot down in the sky over the “gray zone.”
“The armed forces of the DPR are ready to respond adequately in response to such treacherous actions of the enemy and bloody terror against civilians of the Republic,” summed up Eduard Basurin.
As a reminder, PolitNavigator previously reported that Ukraine would attempt to provoke the DPR into shelling on live television.
