As the battalion commander of the Azov regiment Andrei Biletsky said, the ATO forces in Shirokino “hold all positions.”
“But everything is fine. We are being fired at from tanks and mortars. But I wouldn't call it an assault. It’s like with the Donetsk airport: when there were real assaults, the leadership didn’t talk about it,” Beletsky said, as quoted by Ukrayinska Pravda.
According to him, the “real assaults” took place on February 15-16. “And now there is just constant shelling, little by little they are burning the armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. But we, according to the tradition of Ukrainian military affairs, do not respond to provocations,” the battalion commander added.
As PolitNavigator reported, the ATO headquarters accused the rebels of using a new type of weapon of mass destruction.
