Today at 13.55, Ukrainian militants from Ivanov’s 56th mechanized infantry brigade shelled the environs of the Donetsk airport with 82mm mortars, having fired 7 shells.
At 16:30, militants from Shapalov’s 59th brigade engaged Golmovsky by using small arms.
After that, at 16:50, occupiers from the 92nd brigade commanded by Kokorev engaged the outskirts of Yasinovataya with heavy machine guns and small arms.
It is important to note that in all three cases, the enemy was launching aimless fire on our territory in dense fog.
According to our data, this morning, militants in those three AFU brigades were being awarded on the occasion of Ukraine’s Ground Forces Day. Thus, we do not rule out that the Ukrainian occupiers under the influence of alcohol opened fire on our peaceful neighborhoods, having “drunk to their decorations”.
According to the report from our frontline observers, during the attacks on Golmovsky from positions of the 59th brigade, the sounds were heard resembling the anthem of Ukraine. At the same time, there were journalists from Ukrainian and foreign media:
56th separate mechanized infantry brigade — ORF, France 24 and ICTV;
92nd separate mechanized brigade — France-Press, Channel 5 and Ukraine 112;
The 59th separate mechanized infantry brigade was attended by Associated Press, UA Donbass and PBS NewsHour, who recorded the attacks by the AFU and were waiting for a response from our side to record it and publish reports on the failure to observe the ceasefire by the People’s Militia military.
We call on the international observers to intervene in what is happening and ensure that the occupying Ukrainian military administration in the Donetsk region immediately put a stop to ceasefire violations by its militants, which could lead to an escalation of the conflict and civilian casualties.
