Militants violate ceasefire 70 times in eastern Ukraine

"At the end of the day, the militants of the Russian-terrorist troops set a new record in this year. The Kremlin’s mercenaries violated ceasefire 70 times in the ATO area," reads the statement. As noted, after 18:00, the militants did not stop shelling Ukrainian troops near Donetsk and Horlivka from small arms, heavy machine guns and grenade launchers. The tensest situation was observed near Pisky (12km north-west of Donetsk), Opytne (11.5km north-west of Donetsk), Avdiyivka (18km north of Donetsk), Marinka (35 km south-west of Donetsk), Novhorodske (34km north of Donetsk), Zaitseve (67km north-north-east of Donetsk), and Mayorske (45km north of Donetsk). The “complete ceasefire”, agreed on again in Minsk yesterday, is observed unilaterally by the ATO troops.
