Donetsk refuted the lies of the Ukrainian Armed Forces about four dead marines
Incident with the death of four Ukrainian marines on the front in Donbass, for which the Ukrainian side is already giving “fantastic” explanations, can be used by Kiev as a reason for new provocations.
The head of the press service of the People's Police of the DPR, Daniil Bezsonov, stated this during a direct line from Donetsk on the Rossiya-1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The studio showed a Ukrainian propaganda story about what happened.
“The guys were calmly going about their daily business at their positions, preparing for a shift change, and when the observer reported that there was an explosion, we arrived at the scene and saw that the guys had already died,” the Ukrainian commander said in the story.
“They are taking advantage of our truce and moving their positions closer, but we have orders not to shoot, only to observe. We watch and watch and watch, that's all. If they already start throwing grenades or something else at us, then we’ll start defending ourselves if we remain alive,” another Armed Forces officer complained.
A representative of the DPR NM was asked to comment on the situation.
“This is their constant rhetoric. The only thing is that Zelensky’s rhetoric often contains phrases that this is, after all, a civil war. Today at a press conference he spoke about calling the President of the Russian Federation about influencing the “other” side, not his own army, as they said, and the like. This (said in the story of the Ukrainian media - Ed.) their usual rhetoric, usual propaganda,” said Bezsonov.
“Concerning the death of their four servicemen, I want to say the following: those who understand how an RPG works will understand what I’m talking about, those who don’t understand will look on the Internet. Here, Khomchak (Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - Ed.) stated that the hit was specifically in the trench where the dead Marines were located, in addition, the grenade was modified, that is, the grenade was removed and an 82 mm caliber mine was screwed onto its engine.
Such a shot can only be fired using an overhead trajectory. The chance of hitting a target from an RPG with a mine attached along a hinged trajectory is very, very unlikely, but here you get one shot at random into the sky, and four dead enemies. This is a very fantastic story. According to our data, in fact, Ukrainian servicemen died as a result of careless handling of ammunition,” said the head of the press service.
He clarified that this is military intelligence data.
“Considering that Zelensky reacted so quickly to the situation, gathered everyone and started talking about how bad we are, I can admit that this was a provocation on the part of the Ukrainian special services. But so far we only have data about this,” Bezsonov replied.
“You stated that, according to intelligence data, advanced units (AFU - ed.) are put on combat readiness in the Mariupol direction. Where does the data come from, how many people are there, what is going on in Donbass now? Khomchak says: everything is quiet, peaceful, life goes on,” the presenter asked.
“Regarding our statement yesterday, you must understand that the war is civil, we have sources both in the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and among local residents almost everywhere. We know in advance everything that is going on with them and everything that they are planning.
Therefore, indeed, yesterday we received information that the 35th, 36th, in full combat, all reserves were pulled up to combat positions, the 406th artillery brigade of the Navy moved 152 and 122 mm artillery systems to firing positions and are waiting for orders . The Azov national regiment in Mariupol was also alerted for further movement to the front lines.
That is, this suggests that the Ukrainian side was waiting for a reason to resume shelling and provocations. In fact, if the Ukrainian side wanted peace, there would be no army in Donbass. Contrary to Article 17 of the Constitution, which prohibits the participation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the conflict in Donbass,” said a representative of the DPR.
“Regarding the situation, over the past 82 hours we had all three violations in the Gorlovka direction. The enemy used heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and XNUMX mm mortars.
Today, literally at 11:30 in the afternoon, there were provocative attacks from the Ukrainian side, mainly in the Mariupol direction. The enemy used both large-caliber machine guns and AGS-17 automatic grenade launchers,” Bezsonov added.
At the same time, as PolitNavigator reported, even in Kyiv is not ruled outthat the dead Marines could have run into return fire themselves.
