1- Kiev refuses to discuss amendments to Constitution concerning Donbass

Wednesday, August 17, 2016 - 13:20 DONi Donbass International News Agency https://dninews.com (Donbass)


The Kiev side does not want to coordinate the amendments to the Ukrainian constitution on the issue of determining a local government order on the territories of the Republics. It was stated by Natalya Nikonorova, the Donetsk People’s Republic Ministry of Foreign Affairs Acting Head and
Chairman in the Political Subgroup.

‘The sharpest question is the introduction of amendments to the Ukrainian Constitution that are to confirm our territories’ peculiarities. The Ukrainian representatives negatively respond to the condition itself of the necessity to coordinate the amendments to the Constitution with the representatives of the Republics,’ pointed out Natalya Nikonorova.

According to her, the Ukrainian representatives at the negotiations in Minsk are looking for ways to delay the process by all means and in fact not to deal with the question, although without such a coordination, it is impossible to implement the Complex of Measures.

Belgrade will not back the European Union’s sanctions against Moscow for the purpose of mirroring Brussels’ foreign policy, Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic said during a meeting with US Vice President Joe Biden.

Biden met Nikolic in the Serbian capital of Belgrade during his three-day trip to the region that will include a visit to Kosov, reports Sputnik.

We cannot introduce sanctions against Russia if it means [Serbia’s] harmonization with EU foreign policy. We are tied to Russia, we are bound with the United States where a large Serbian community lives, Nikolic said.

4- Donetsk Defense: Situation Report, 17.08.16

Wednesday, August 17, 2016 - 16:13, DONi Donbass International News Agency https://dninews.com (Donbass)

The situation in the Donetsk People’s Republic has not changed and remains tense.

The Ukrainian punishers violated the ceasefire regime 698 times over the past day.

The enemy keeps using artillery, shelling the Republican territory. Altogether there were launched 65 ammunition with MRLS “Grad”, 165 artillery shells of 122mm and 152mm caliber, 400 mortar shells, from which 283 of 120mm caliber. Besides, the shelling was carried out with infantry fighting vehicles, grenade launchers and small arms.  
***

The killers of their own nation Gorbatyuk, Vodolazsky, Zabolotny, Zubanich, Goraz and Panchenko were in charge of shelling the Republican localities of Zaitsevo, Yasinovataya, Veseloye, Vasilyevka, Spartak, Aleksandrovka, Dokuchayevsk, Belokamenka, Grigoryevka, Novolaspa, Novomaryevka, Nikolayevka, Sosnovoye, Sakhanka, Leninskoye, Kominternovo and Sakhanka. 

There are no injured people among civilians. There is one person seriously wounded among the DPR servicemen. As a result of shelling the Kiyevsky, Kirovsky and Petrovsky districts of Donetsk City there got damaged seven house-buildings.
  
We keep registering the deployment of the AFU military equipment prohibited by the Minsk Agreements near the contact line. Thus, in the area of the localities of:

Verkhnetroitskoye (4km away from the contact line) there was registered the presence of 10 mortars of 120mm caliber;
  
Granitnoye (6km away from the contact line) there was registered the presence of 9 self-propelled howitzers “Gvozdika” of 122mm caliber and 4 mortars of 120mm caliber;

Andreyevka (11km away from the contact line) there was registered the presence of two MRLS “Grad”.
  
Besides, our intelligence registered the fact of the military experts from Denmark arrival in Ukraine who are to visit the 1st  airmobile battalion of the 95 airmobile battalion aimed at studying the experience of holding the vindictive actions against own nation and at rendering the technological and military assistance to the AFU units in the “anti-national terrorist activity zone”.  
***

There is registered the strengthening of the air raid support  carried out by the enemy using drones. Along the whole contact line there was registered the drones’ work that carried out the artillery units’ correcting. The increase in the number of shellings the Republican localities with heavy weapons is associated with it.
 
All the data on violating the Minsk Agreements were handed over to the OSCE and JCCC representatives.
***

We said a lot of times that the Ukrainian military fell short of ammunition in the “ATO” zone. And after the weapon ordance warehouse explosion in the Zaitsevo locality controlled by the AFU, the situation is simply catastrophic. The enemy has to use ammunition expired from which over 10 per cent  do not burst or gun tubes explode. It becomes known that for the last two weeks, in the AFU artillery units there were put out of action up to 15 weapons for this reason.
  
In this context and for the reason of the increase in the number of non-battle losses, there is registered the moral and psychological condition fall of the AFU servicemen and because of this the Ukrainian military command is afraid. In this regard, in the period from August 15 till August 16 in the units of the 58th separate infantry brigade in the Ochereteno area, there worked military-psychologists’ group headed by the “ATO” Deputy  Commander-in-Chief concerning character building. There were carried out group activities and a test check. There was found out that the moral and psychological condition of the military personnel located in the advanced positions had extremely low level.

To raise spirits among the servicemen, the AFU command keeps not only spreading misinformation on the DPR Armed Forces full-fledged offensive blow on the AFU positions, but also demonstrating how the NATO countries are rendering the military assistance to Ukraine. The example can be the drone’s pieces downed by the DPR Armed Forces air defense in the area of Gorlovka. There was stuck the North Atlantic Alliance sign on them by rule of thumb.  There is only thing to be surprised at the Ukrainian military savvy who are ready to do everything to encourage the military personnel by the mythic supply of the modern military equipment on the part of the Western tutors.
  
In such a manner, the statement of the “ATO” headquarters  so-called speaker on the supply of 200 sets of the Ukrainian uniform to the Armed Forces of the DPR units to carry out the provocative acts of simulating the “ATO” forces’ offensive blow in the area of Gorlovka and Donetsk. I am going to assure you that if there were such a fact, well we would use the uniform to hand it over to the AFU by means of humanitarian aid.
