In Donetsk, the regime of silence began at eight in the morning on December 9 and has not been broken since then. The last shells fell in the Kalininsky district of the city on Tuesday night. One of them exploded near a residential building on the corner of Krasnogvardeisky Prospekt and Sailor Koshka Street, a special correspondent reports from the scene "Kommersant".
“Donetsk was not shelled yesterday, but Gorlovka was heavily shelled,” said DPR Prime Minister Zakharchenko and doubted that Petro Poroshenko has complete control over the Ukrainian military. “We didn’t fire a single shell in response.”
According to him, the DPR forces will not open fire before the negotiations, and in Minsk it is necessary to discuss not only the prospects for the current truce, but also the exchange of prisoners in the “all for all” format.
As for the Ukrainian military, they announced yesterday that they are fully observing the truce, unlike their opponents.
“We see a manifold decrease in the number of shellings,” said Andriy Lysenko, a representative of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. “We continue to adhere to the regime of silence and hope that the number of shellings will continue to decrease, and ultimately will be brought to zero.”
