A sniper unit from the special operations force, armed with Barrett M82 12.7mm rifles, arrived at the 59th brigade’s frontline positions this morning. At 6:10 AM, covered by machinegun fire, they opened accurate fire on our positions near Dolomitnoye.

As a result, a defender of our Republic suffered a fatal wound in his combat station.

We offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the fallen soldier.

Ceasefire violations result from the inability of Zelensky and his placemen at the General Staff to influence the situation in the joint forces operation’s zone, given that commander of the occupation forces Kravchenko provides patently false information on the situation at the line of contact, the moral and psychological condition of his militants and the number of noncombatant losses.

We call on international monitors and, in particular, OSCE Chairman-in-Office Edi Rama to make the Ukrainian side comply with the agreements reached and bring to justice the militants guilty of killing our defender and violating the existing ceasefire.
