The publication reports on increased shelling of Donbass cities by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and indicates that Ukrainian artillery was discovered near the demarcation line.
“At the same time, the OSCE monitoring mission noted a “significant concentration of troops and equipment” on the contact line, occurring despite the loud statements of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko about the beginning of the withdrawal of Ukrainian equipment,” writes RG. – In particular, the monitoring mission did not find part of the previously withdrawn Ukrainian equipment in the places of deployment, but reconnaissance of the army of the Donetsk People’s Republic found it - at a distance of 5-13 kilometers from the contact line. On Saturday, 26 Ukrainian self-propelled guns, howitzers and multiple launch rocket systems were “discovered” along the entire front line.”
The newspaper does not rule out that the gathering of equipment is not accidental, and thus Kyiv is preparing an offensive.
“The day before, Deputy Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament Andrei Parubiy let it slip that Kiev’s goal is victory over Donbass according to the “Croatian scenario,” when in 1995, with the support of NATO, despite the Dayton agreements, Croatia resolved its dispute with Belgrade by force,” the publication recalls. - “And we will have it the way it was there. We need time so that we can equip our army and wait for the morning when we begin our operations “Lightning” and “Storm,” Parubiy dreamed on the eve of the next round of the Minsk peace process, which, judging by the insanity and aggressiveness of individual politicians in Kyiv, It could take a long time."
