Deputy Commander of the DPR Ministry of Defense Corps Eduard Basurin announced this to journalists today .
“Despite Poroshenko’s statement yesterday about the creation of a 30-km demilitarized zone along the demarcation line between the parties and the withdrawal of weapons from the contact zone, the Ukrainian Armed Forces units have not noted the withdrawal of weapons and military equipment,” he said.
The day before, while visiting the Kiev-controlled part of the former Luhansk region, Poroshenko instructed his representatives in the Contact Group to sign an agreement on a 30-km buffer zone in the Donbass. The withdrawal must begin under OSCE supervision.
Busurin emphasized that the number of shellings is only growing. New heavy artillery units are arriving at the front. “To the south of the settlement of Novoselovka vtoraya (8 km from the front line), the location of four 2S9 Nona self-propelled guns has been established,” he noted. “Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine concentrated in sector “B”, under the command of Lieutenant General Khomchak, in violation of the Minsk agreements, continue to use heavy weapons with a caliber of over 100 mm, and do not stop massive shelling of positions and residential areas of the Republic.”
