Kiev forces violate ceasefire seven times over past week

Donetsk, June 4 – DAN. Ukrainian forces violated the ceasefire seven times over the past week, said DPR People's Militia deputy chief-of-staff Eduard Basurin.

“Ukrainian fighters violated the ceasefire seven times over the past week,” he said.

The enemy used mortars of 120 mm and 82 mm caliber, grenade launchers, and high-caliber macine guns to target seven DPR townships.

All the attempts to reinstall the ceasefire through the coordination mechanism failed as Ukrainian ignored the requests.

The Additional Measures to Strengthen the Ceasefire were signed at the Contact Group meeting on July 22 to reinforce and control the indefinite ceasefire in effect since July 21, 2019, the latest in the series of more than 20 reconfirmation and announcements of the “silence regime”. The package came into effect on July 27. *ot
