Despite attempts by the global community to normalize the process of peaceful settlement of the conflict, the enemy keeps destabilizing the situation on the contact line and to this end continues to step up the intensity of provocative shelling of the territory of our Republic, the press office of the DPR People’s Militia Directorate reports.
“On November 20, at 4:20 p.m. militants of the 56th brigade opened concentrated fire with 152mm artillery on Spartak. The total of seventeen shells were fired on the village.
Information on the destruction of civilian infrastructure and casualties among the civilian population is being specified.
Recent events indicate that Kiev authorities and Zelensky have no influence on the Ukrainian armed formations. While world leaders urge Ukraine to take effective steps and start a constructive dialogue with Donbass, the Ukrainian command is increasing the number and intensity of bombardments of our Republic with weapons prohibited by the Minsk agreements.
We urge the OSCE SMM international monitors to intervene and influence the Ukrainian armed formations to force them to follow a stable ceasefire,” the statement says.
