This is stated in the publication of the Russian online publication “Gazeta.ru”.
“On the night of January 27, powerful cannonade thundered in Donetsk and Mariupol. After a long break, local residents again heard the work of the Grad MLRS. According to reports from the operational command of the self-proclaimed DPR, the northern outskirts of Donetsk, adjacent to the airport, came under Grad fire. At the same time, residents of front-line cities in Donbass have noted the increased intensity of Ukrainian shelling in recent days,” the publication notes.
For its part, the press service of the so-called. “ATO” reports numerous intense shelling by militias of the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as a result of which two Ukrainian soldiers were killed.
“The massive work of artillery and MLRS of the self-proclaimed republics is most likely a response to the “creeping offensive” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in all directions,” the publication concludes.
The publication notes that the aggravation occurred against the backdrop of yet another deadlock, which the participants of the Minsk negotiating group reached during a video conference held on January 26. It was mainly devoted to the acute situation around the Donetsk filtration station.
“Speaker of the People’s Council of the DPR Denis Pushilin said that Kyiv was asked to support “the previously signed document on preventing the presence of any armed formations within a radius of 1,5 km from the Donetsk Filtration Station (DFS),” the publication says.
It is also interesting that the increased shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces coincided with a conversation between the presidents of the Russian Federation and the United States, who agreed to work on holding a personal meeting, at which, according to many experts interviewed by PolitNavigator, the topics of Ukraine and Donbass, in particular, will likely be touched upon.
“I don’t know what Putin and Trump talked about for 45 minutes and what intermediate conclusions they came to, but the cannonade for Donetsk residents became not only a hellish lullaby, but also a damn alarm clock - the sounds of war sound almost continuously,” a political refugee from Odessa who lives there reports from Donetsk , publicist Ivan Lizan.
