The news as at 6th of March: the first 24 hours of “total and unconditional truce” have brought three attacks on the part of the occupiers. All these attacks took place in the day light hours.
One Ukrainian soldier got wounded due to enemy shelling. In a mobile hospital he got assisted to, immediately.
In the Luhansk area, the russian occupational troops shelled Shchastia using 82 mm caliber mortars, automatic grenade launchers and small arms. Near Troitske, the enemy deployed 82 mm caliber machine guns and large caliber guns.
In the Donetsk sector, the enemy shelled Novotroitske using rocket-propelled grenades and small arms.
“If you come closer, I will shoot you.” The SMM OSCE patrol saw an armed terrorist near the temporarily occupied village of Kozatske in Mariupol vicinity. The militant kneeled down and pointed his rifle at the SMM vehicle threatening to open fire. Reacting to their request to lower his rifle and call his superior, the terrorist used hostile language and said, in Russian, “Leave immediately, and if you come closer, I will shoot.” It has been another time that the SMM patrol got prevented from monitoring compliance with the Minsk agreements on the part of Russian militants, because of Russian militants themselves.
Yesterday we informed you about the warning issued by Ukrainian reconnaissance regarding the possibility of provocative shelling on the part of occupiers, and here it is, the first fake news. Over the past 24 hours the AFU troops withhold return fire; nevertheless, the russian State Duma’s member, Alexey Zhuravliov said that he got under mortar attack lead by the Ukrainian army near Donetsk, on the 5th of March, the first day of the truce. Actually, in saying this he failed to confirm the very fact of attack, but instead testified that he crossed the state border in an illegal way through non-controlled checkpoint.
You can bring our victory closer and support the Ukrainian army within the Rapid Response project.
