2- Kiev sabotages road map’s development in Minsk

Friday, August 26, 2016 - 12:24, DONi Donbass International News Agency https://dninews.com (Donbass)

The Ukrainian side in the political affairs subgroup hasn't made any proposals concerning creation of the road map of the peaceful settlement process during the Minsk talks, stated the DPR Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Natalya Nikonorova, commenting on Kiev’s statement about its alleged efforts made in this direction. 

Throughout the whole Minsk process Ukraine never provided any documents or proposals on this very road map, noted the Foreign Ministry head. 

Earlier the Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Pavel Klimkin stated that the Ukrainian side was allegedly working on "logic and order of the road map." Nikonorova reminded that representatives of the People's Republics and the Russian Federation, but not Ukraine, proposed versions of the road map and bills on the whole political package of issues earlier, however full discussion of these projects never took place in Minsk. 

All the time the Ukrainian representatives used various arguments and means to evade even from the discussion of these documents, stated the Acting Foreign Minister of the DPR.

3- Moscow proposes to recognize DPR and LPR and make military agreement for protection from Kiev

Friday, August 26, 2016 - 09:38, DONi Donbass International News Agency https://dninews.com (Donbass)

Russia should recognize the sovereignty of the LPR and the DPR, stated the writer Alexander Prokhanov on air of the RSN channel.

"Russia should recognize the sovereignty of Lugansk and Donetsk and conclude military agreements with the already recognized states. Then Ukrainians with their huge army won't dare to horn in," said Prokhanov.

Any other option is fraught with bloody cleansing of Donbass, considers the writer.

"In our elite circles there dominates the opinion that Donbass should be given away, but it is fraught with much blood. Donbass can't be adjoined to Ukraine in its present state. Ukraine itself has to change, but I don't see any prerequisites to it. Donbass is being demonized, they want to destroy, sterilize it, establish a filtration camp there. There will be arranged terrible cleansings," said Prokhanov.

Thursday, August 25, 2016 - 09:23, DONi Donbass International News Agency https://dninews.com (Donbass)

Russia’s Investigative Committee (IC) has launched a criminal case against Ukraine’s defense minister and its chief of general staff over the artillery shelling of civilians in Donbass.

The investigators have received sufficient data that illegal actions against civilians were carried out on orders of Ukraine’s top military leadership, the investigative committee said.

A criminal case has been opened into the use of prohibited means of warfare, reports TASS.

Criminal charges have been filed against Ukrainian Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak, Chief of General Staff Viktor Muzhenko, Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander Sergey Popko, former Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander Anatoly Pushnyakov and the Commander of Ukraine’s National Guard Yuri Allerov.

5- US Vice President Biden appoints and dismisses Ukrainian top officials
Thursday, August 25, 2016 - 08:56, DONi Donbass International News Agency https://dninews.com (Donbass)

US Vice President Joe Biden asked the so-called Ukrainian President Poroshenko to dismiss the country’s former prosecutor general earlier in the year otherwise the American government would not provide Ukraine with promised $1 billion loan, US magazine Atlantic reported.

The American magazine quoted Biden as saying about his conversation with the Ukrainian president, to whom he refers to as Petro: "Petro, you’re not getting your billion dollars."

"It’s OK, you can keep the [prosecutor] general," Biden said. "Just understand - we’re not paying if you do."

Earlier in the year Poroshenko submitted a request for the dismissal of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin with the Ukrainian Parliament, the Supreme Rada, and on March 29 the members of the parliament voted in favor of sacking the official at the issue.

6- Ukraine celebrates its independence day by shelling for the third time a JCCC observation point
Wednesday, August 24, 2016 - 20:13, DONi Donbass International News Agency https://dninews.com (Donbass)

Today, at 1:35 P.M., the Ukrainian army bombed for the third time in two weeks an observation point of the Joint Control and Coordination Centre of the cease-fire (JCCC) where there were Russian officers. There were fortunately no casualties.

For safety, the officers were evacuated from the area after three artillery shells of 122 mm fell on the area of their observation point (two in a wooded area and a third went through the roof of a building ). This shelling is not only a violation of the Minsk-2 agreements by the use of heavy artillery, but also a total violation of Kiev obligations regarding the safety of observers whose duty is to maintain the cease-fire.

Here, the front line is only at 1 km, and the holes left by shells leave no doubt that the shots came from the Ukrainian positions. At the time of our visit, the OSCE had not yet come to record the facts, but its observers were expected on site.

So it seems that Ukraine has decided to celebrate the day of its independence by finishing to sully its reputation and showing its true face: that of a terrorist state that does not assume its obligations as a state which signed several international conventions and charters.

As we are leaving the area, we hear new shellings, raising fears the worst during the night for civilians living in the area.

7- Donetsk Defense: Weekly Situation Report, 26.08.16

Friday, August 26, 2016 - 18:21, DONi Donbass International News Agency https://dninews.com (Donbass)

Good day! Today, I am going to sum up this past week again.

I would like to focus on the fact of the AFU goal-oriented shellings of the civil infrastructure objects, on the fact that the Ukrainian military-political leadership is creating the hotbeds of tension in the Gorlovka, Donetsk and Mariupol directions, on the fact of the continuing politics of  the genocide of civilians on the part of the Ukrainian military, on the fact of the AFU special forces activities activation in the Republic and also on the fact of the massive concealment of the AFU non-battle looses.

***

In the period from August 20 till August 26, the main efforts in the battle training in the DPR People’s Militia units were focused on preparing for carrying out battalion tactical exercises, aimed at practicing the People’s Militia Administration arrival at a decision on rebutting offensive employments of the enemy in the possible directions, on holding tactical exercises on landing of troops on the seashore, on the occupation of position and on advancing inward the enemy defense and on competing  for the best armor section among large units and corpse units.
***

During the week the Ukrainian military shelled the Republican localities 3004 times from which 2580 times the enemy used the weapons prohibited by the Minsk Agreements.  
The localities and vital infrastructures along the whole contact line were under the intensive Ukrainian shellings.  

Over a period from August 1 till August 26, the Ukrainian artillery fire destroyed and damaged 202 house-buildings in the locality of Zaitsevo, Gorlovka, Yasinovataya, Dokuchayevsk, Kominternovo, in the Kiyevsky, Kirovsky and Petrovsky districts of Donetsk City.  

As a result of the shellings of the Republican localities by the Ukrainian punishers there died five servicemen of the DPR People’s Militia and there got wounded six ones. There died seven and got wounded 26 civilians.

The responsibility for civilian death, Republican localities destruction belongs to the military criminals Gorbatyuk, Vodolazsky, Zabolotny, Zubanich, Panchenko and Goraz who are openly exterminating their own nation, feeling behind their back the Kiev bloodthirsty regime support.   
***

As before there is registered the strengthening of the air raid support carried out by the enemy, using drones that carried out the fire correcting of the artillery units on the Republican localities. There were registered the flies of seven drones that provides evidences of full withdrawal of the Ukrainian military leadership from implementing the Minsk Agreements, using drones in capacity of reconnaissance asset and of artillery control.  
***

Our intelligence keeps registering the facts of the AFU military equipment prohibited by the Minsk Agreements deployment near the contact line. As a result of which there was strengthened the enemy forces command.  

Thus, there was registered the presence of:

In the Gorlovka direction - up to a platoon of MRLS “Grad”, up to a battery of howitzers D-30 of 122mm caliber, up to a battery of howitzers “Gvozdika” of 122mm caliber and up to a platoon of mortars of 120mm caliber.   
In the Donetsk direction - up to a battery of howitzers “Akatsiya” of 152mm caliber, up to two batteries of howitzers “Gvozdika” of 122mm caliber, up to a platoon of howitzers D-30 of 122mm caliber, up to two squadrons of tans, up to two batteries of mortars of 120mm caliber and up to a mechanized battalion;

In the Mariupol direction - up to a platoon of MRLS “Grad”, self-propelled artillery platforms “Akatsiya” of 152mm caliber, and howitzers “Gvozdika” of 122mm caliber, up to a battery of towed cannons “Giatsint-B” of 152mm caliber, up to a battery of howitzers D-30 of 122mm caliber, up to a platoon of self-propelled mortars “Nona-S” of 120mm caliber, up to a battery of mortars of 120mm caliber and up to a mechanized battalion.  
***

The absence of the AFU military equipment in the take-off points is also confirmed by the Monitoring Mission OSCE, publishing the facts of violating the Minsk Agreements on withdrawing heavy armament by the Ukrainian side in their daily reports.
  
Thus, this week in the take-off points there was registered the AFU military equipment absence by the OSCE Mission representatives:

Howitzers MSTA-B of 152mm caliber - 31 units;
Self-propelled antitank weapons system “Konkurs” - one unit;
Howitzers D-20 of 152mm caliber - six units;
Howitzers “Gvozdika” of 122mm caliber - 17 units;
Self-propelled cannons “Giatsint” of 152mm caliber - 32 units;
MRLS “Uragan” of 220mm - 10 units;  
anti-aircraft weapon system “Stryela-10” - one unit;  
Antitank cannons MT-12 “Rapira” of 100mm caliber - 14 units;
Mortars of 120mm caliber - 3 units;
Infantry fighting vehicles and armoured vehicles - 17 units. 

One more time the JCCC representatives from the Russian side were shelled with mortars in the area of the railway station in the locality of Yasinovataya. And the OSCE Monitoring Mission refusal of registering this violation raises eyebrows. Due to this, we are calling upon the OSCE Mission Deputy Head Alexander Hug to remind their subordinate people about implementing their responsibilities by them according to the Mission mandate in full and not on a sample basis or when it is profitable.  
***

Over the reporting period there is registered the decrease in the number of the shellings on the part of the AFU. We are associating this fact with the OSCE Deputy Head Alexander Hug’s work in the Republic, and this fact confirms that the OSCE Mission can influence the situation in real, in particular the ceasefire regime violations on the part of the AFU. However, the decrease in the number of the shellings does not waive responsibilities for the criminal activities of the Ukrainian military. The artillery shelling of the Petrovsky district of Donetsk City on August 23 attracted public attention and as a result of which there was partially destroyed the kindergarten №94. Fortunately, there were no injured people.      
And the parade of the military equipment taking place in Kiev on August 24 and military equipment’s despatch to the so-called ATO zone demonstrably demonstrates with what weapons the civilians’ houses, schools and kindergartens are destroyed. Thanks to what weapons, hundreds of children remained orphans, without childhood and a roof. Who do not have the present and the misty future. In contrast, Poroshenko’s statement on returning Donbass only by political and diplomatic means insincerely sounds.  There will be the time and he has to look into the eyes of these children and to explain why they lost their parents thanks to his so-called diplomacy. 

In such a manner, we once again observe the real face of the Ukrainian fighters who do not descend by anything -  on the threshold of the academic year start, they are occupying schools and targetedly shelling kindergartens. 

This parade holding provides evidences of the fact that the official Ukrainian leadership always lies that they even do not  conceal the presence of the armament that they did not allegedly have. Despite the Ukrainian servicemen’ statement, assuring the West in the fact that they could not down the Malaysian “Boeing” because they did not have military equipment and all the Ukrainian air defense means had been sold to Georgia, in the downtown of the Ukrainian capital, as sound as a bell, there were weapon systems “Buk-M1” and “S-300” and also weapon systems “Osa”.

And a speaker informed all over Khreschatyk: ‘These air defense systems are ready to down goals at a height of 12 thousand km under the conditions of the strong radio interference.  
***

On the back of relative decrease in the number of shellings on the part of the AFU, there is registered the Ukrainian special forces activation concerning the sabotages holding at the Republican vital infrastructures. Thus, during the week they carried out sabotages two times on the main  trunk communications links of mobile operator MTS, Life and Phoenix in the Petrovsky, Kuibyshevsky, Voroshylovsky districts of Donetsk City, in the localities of Uglyegorsk, Yelenovka and Dokuchayevsk. The Donetsk water purification installation was under the Ukrainian fire and in Gorlovka there were disconnected 40 electrical substations as a result of artillery shelling on the part of the AFU.
  
The Ukrainian special forces activities activation in the Republic leads not only to failure but also to the victims among civilians. The Ukrainian, so-called experts, mining withdrawal routes after the planned or carried out sabotages on the territory of the Republic do not think about the fact that as a result there die harmless citizens. Thus, as result of tripping the trip mine installed by the Ukrainian special forces in the area of the residential houses on the outskirts of the Zaitsevo locality there died the civilian.
  
Thus, the military and political leadership of Ukraine is purposefully carrying out the politics of whipping up tension in Donbass, attracting the special forces to destroy vital infrastructures and civilians.  
***
In connection with the absence of the control of the military personnel on the part of the commanders and with the low level of the military discipline, the Ukrainian military keep suffering non-battle losses. Only in the 13th and 16th separate infantry battalions of the 58th brigade located in the area of Avdeyevka and Krasnogorovka, the non-battle losses amounted to about 35 people. And in the 10th separate infantry battalion of the 59th brigade located in the area of Popasnaya, the serviceman, major took his own life. Servicemen from the military personnel of the 1st mechanized battalion of the 30 brigade being on station on the front line along the whole contact line in the area of the locality of Novotroitskoye and being under the influence of alcohol held totally aloof and refused to comply with orders and instructions of the command. The total number of the medical losses of the Ukrainian AFU amounted to over 150 people.

On the back of ongoing things, the Ukrainian President’s statement on concentrating extra 141 units of new heavy armament and military equipment to Donbass, including fighter aircraft and helicopters looks absurd. Mortar gunners of the 72nd separate mechanized brigade felt the consequences of the modern Ukrainian armament the hard way when they carried out the trial of the newest Ukrainian mortar “Molot” of 120mm caliber. The production of one model cost 480 thousand UAH to Ukraine. 
   
Out of 12 mortars, one went to pieces before the arrival to the artillery position and another went to pieces after the first shot.

The Ukrainian special forces activities activation in the “ATO” zone is associated with the fact that because of moral decay and technical backwardness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine they cannot conduct full-fledged operations even in the long term. And speaking about the future if Ukraine in general, we are noting that even the American tutors predict Ukraine the status of the European state only after 25 years and not as a part of the European Union. And before that time it remains the raw-exports role of the West, waste deposit of nuclear wastes and with debts, not one generation of the Ukrainians will have to pay for.
  
In turn, we would like to have the peaceful settlement of the conflict and are calling upon the whole world community to influence the leadership of Ukraine to stop bloodshed in Donbass.  
We are warning the military and political leadership of Ukraine on the attempts of offensive actions. The DPR People’s Militia is ready to furnish worthy resistance, not using the weapons prohibited by the Minsk Agreements.

Commander of the DPR Defense Ministry operative command Denis Sinenkov during his briefing, official translation by DONi News Agency
