This morning, the armed forces of Ukraine committed a gross provocation, having opened mortar and grenade launcher fire on residential areas of Staromikhailovka, head of the DPR Representative Office to the JCCC and the negotiation process Ruslan Yakubov commented on this fact.
“As the result of the attack by the AFU, dwelling separate houses on Chkalova Street are damaged. Fortunately, none of the civilians was hurt.
Hostilities are being stepped up on the Donetsk front against the background of the recent progress concerning the agreement on repair and restoration work at the Maryinka gas distribution station, and on the eve of the Contact Group meeting.
We consider the fact of aggression of the AFU to be a deliberate provocation aimed at disrupting all the agreements. We demand that Ukraine conduct an investigation into the attack on the Staromikhailovka residential area and subsequently bring all perpetrators to justice.
We also call on the OSCE Mission to register the consequences of the attack and document them in the next daily report,” Ruslan Yakubov said.
