The ATO headquarters counted 20 attacks on their positions, in particular, in the Donetsk direction - in the village of Peski and in Avdeevka.
In the Mariupol direction, the village of Shirokino remains at the epicenter of the confrontation.
“The enemy fired at the village six times with small arms and anti-tank weapons. Also, the positions of the ATO forces were fired twice from 14.10 to 14.30 from a 120-mm mortar,” the press center stated.
In addition, in the Lugansk direction, the DRG militia crossed the demarcation line and unsuccessfully tried to gain a foothold near Ukrainian positions, according to the ATO headquarters. In the Artemovsk direction, no cases of ceasefire violations were recorded as of 19:XNUMX.
In turn, the militias declare on social networks that “the situation has become tense and the limit is close.”
“By order, the armies of the DPR and LPR moved 90% of the equipment they had to the fronts (not what was withdrawn), the withdrawn equipment will return to its place only in the event of their Minsk truce. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have not fulfilled the agreements on time, they are not going to fulfill them, which means we ourselves will push back their artillery,” the militias write on social networks.
