Donetsk came under Grad fire, the militia is holding the Debaltseve cauldron
Donetsk, February 13 (PolitNavigator, Yuriy Kovalchuk) – Donetsk experienced an unusually calm morning this Friday – there were no traditional morning shellings. However, the “truce” did not last long - at about 13.30 Moscow time, Ukrainian troops fired at the Tekstilshchikov area from the Grad MLRS. The consequences of the shelling are now being clarified, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

At night, small artillery exchanges also took place in the city; saboteurs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were working in Donetsk.
There is now a short-term lull along the entire front line - they are shooting, but very moderately, compared to the beginning of the week. Everyone is waiting for orders from the command - they have not yet arrived either to the LDPR army or to the Ukrainian side.
In the morning it was quiet even near Peski - the Ukrainian Armed Forces concentrated significant forces in this direction, but now this whole gathering is wasting the stew. However, everything can change at any moment - one call from headquarters or just a provocation is enough for the truce to be interrupted - after all, there are still a few days left.
In the Debaltsevo direction the situation has not changed - the cauldron is being shelled, the route to Artemovsk is blocked. Separate groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to break out of the cauldron - apparently out of despair, but such attempts are quickly stopped. At the moment there is neither peace nor war.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine and the LDPR army are awaiting further orders - now everything depends on politics.
