Over the past 24 hours, the armed forces of Ukraine violated the ceasefire three times, spokesman for the DPR PMD Oleg Nikitin reported at the briefing on June 23.
The enemy was actively using automatic rocket launchers and small arms. Our defenders responded adequately and negated the enemy’s fire activity.
On the Donetsk front, Ukrainian militants from the 79th brigade were intensively firing at Aleksandrovka with automatic grenade launchers and small arms from positions near Maryinka.
A civilian born 1975 suffered a fatal wound during the attack on Aleksandrovka. Ukrainian militants deliberately kept firing not to let evacuate the victim.
People’s Militia units were forced to negate the enemy’s fire activity with weapons not prohibited by the Minsk accords. Our defenders adequately reacted against positions of Ukrainian militants, the enemy suffered losses: one was killed, two were wounded.
“We urge the Ukrainian military to refuse to carry out criminal orders in order to save their lives and fellow soldiers’.
Additional information on civilian casualties and damage to civil infrastructure is being specified.
Information on the cases of firing has been sent to representatives of international organizations based in the Republic, as well as to the DPR Prosecutor-General’s Office for inclusion in criminal cases against brigade commander Lutsenko,” Oleg Nikitin said.
