(MILITARY SITUATION REPORT/VIDEO FROM HIGH COMMAND DPR PEOPLE’S ARMY COL. BASURIN )
The situation in the Donetsk People’s Republic tends to deteriorate.
Over the past day, the Ukrainian terrorists increased the number of the bombardments on the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic to 1,270, having launched on the territory of the Republic 70 122 and 152mm artillery shells, 5 tank shells, 555 mortar shells, including 250 of 120mm caliber, and 551 shells from grenade launchers of different types. In addition, the enemy used in the shelling infantry fighting vehicles and small arms.
The Ukrainian terrorists, on the orders of the commanders of the 53rd, the 72nd, the 92nd and the 30th separate mechanized brigades of the AFU, Gruzevich, Sokolov, Nikolyuk and Garaz, the commander of the 55th artillery brigade, Brusov, and the commander of the 36th Marine brigade, Delyatitsky, shelled the following localities of the Republic: Zaytsevo, Vasilyevka, Shirokaya Balka, Mikhaylovka, Yakovlevka, Yasinovataya, Spartak, Krutaya Balka, Vesyoloye, Dokuchaevsk, Dzerzhinskoye, Leninskoye, Sakhanka, Yasnoye, Kominternovo, Oktyabr, Bezymennoye, the area of the airport and the locality of Trudovskiye in the Petrovsky district of Donetsk city.
As a result of the mortar shelling from the Nazi Ukraine Units (AFU) positions, they have killed one of our soldiers of the People’s Army.
The Nazi Ukrainian command is taking steps to destabilize the situation along the contact line, delivering new units from Ukraine. In particular, we recorded the arrival, in the area of the locality of Mikhaylovka, of a unit of the 80th separate air assault brigade which had not been seen previously in the area of «ATO». I would like to note that it is assault prepared and nationalist units that the criminal military command of Nazi Ukraine amasses on the contact line, which gives grounds to assume the possible intensification of the AFU hostilities.
This is confirmed, in particular, by yesterday’s statement by the Nazi Defense Minister of Ukraine, Poltorak, about the presence in the «ATO» area of 40,000 military of volunteer battalions, some of whom have substantial contradictions with the Kiev Junta authorities, and consistently demonstrate their independence and lack of submission.
In addition, there is noted the arrival of another group of foreign mercenaries in the area of the so-called ATO. In particular, in the zone of responsibility of the 25th separate airborne brigade, in the area of the locality of Galitsinovka, arrived the US citizens, allegedly instructors for the Nazi Ukraine Unit (AFU) military, but in fact, coordinators of acts of nationalist forces of Ukraine to conduct sabotage. In addition, in the same brigade, there is noted the presence of advisers from NATO member countries.
Despite statements by the Ukrainian Junta authorities on their readiness to assume responsibility for the security of critical infrastructure on the uncontrolled territories, and their attempts to justify military expansion into the areas of the «buffer zones», we revealed plans of Ukrainian nationalists to make large sabotage acts near the frontline.
In particular, our intelligence received credible information about the preparation by radicals of the «Right Sector», stationed near the locality of Avdeevka and backed up by foreign mercenaries, of conducting a serious provocation in the zone of responsibility of the 72nd separate mechanized brigade in the near future, in order to accuse again the DPR People’s Army of the deaths of civilians and the AFU military personnel, and, consequently, of disrupting the Minsk agreements. In particular, the Ukrainian terrorists and their foreign curators are preparing, after the change of the wind direction towards the AFU-controlled territory, to shell with prohibited weapons the facilities of chlorine storage near the Donetsk Filter Plant and at the Verhnekalmiusky Filter Plant, in order to create an ecological catastrophe directed primarily against the AFU.
This brutal provocation aims to provoke further the conflict in the «ATO» area, due to the new US administration refusing to support the civil war in Ukraine, as well as to prevent the implementation of Kiev authorities’ measures on the «de-occupation of the uncontrolled territories», which is written in the Cabinet resolution and regarded by Ukrainian nationalists as a betrayal of «Euromaidan» ideals and the loss of sovereignty of the «Independent».
In this regard, we urge the international organizations operating in the conflict zone, to pay attention to the actions of the radical nationalist organizations of Ukraine and foreign private military companies near objects of critical infrastructure.
Thus, the above mentioned facts suggest the possibility of an aggravation of the hostilities on the part of the AFU, as a result of actions of the nationalists uncontrolled by the Ukrainian Junta authorities.
Nevertheless, we are ready for any variant of the development of the situation. We will ruthlessly suppress any tricks from the Ukrainian Junta side by active and decisive actions.
In this connection, I would like to urge the Ukrainian Junta nationalist battalion commanders to think again and not to commit insane acts, which will bring suffering to civilians and the AFU military personnel.
