According to the DPR PMD intelligence, AFU soldiers caused three car accidents during the holidays. Soldiers of 28th, 128th and 10th brigades “distinguished themselves”, and it is noted that in all cases the drivers were drunk. The military were detained and transferred to the Military Service of Law and Order. In this regard, the Joint Forces Operation Staff issued instructions to ban every traffic until the end of March 9, the DPR PMD report says.

“Along with that, during the Women’s Day celebration at the advanced positions of the 28th separate mechanised brigade, three flares were fired instead of a celebratory gunfire, as a result of which grass caught fire and wired communication lines of the control system in the battalion-company link were broken.

In turn, the Joint Forces Operation Command, without sorting things out, rushed to divert public attention from the AFU violations of the obligations on the withdrawal of forces and assets and presented this fact as a result of shelling by the DPR People’s Militia,” the report says.
