Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[NewsFrontInfo] News Front editor-in-chief Konstantin Knyrik announced that the West was preparing a chemical attack in Donbass, he announced this on the air of the program "Evening with Vladimir Solovyov" on the channel "Russia."
Oh dear.
According to the head of News Front, the head of the Russian military department, General of the Army Sergei Shoigu, said this earlier, with which he absolutely agrees.

Confirmation of this preparation Konstantin Knyrik called the massive interest of Western journalists in the events in the Donetsk People's Republic:

"The last time such activity was Western was only in 2014. Could it be that they were accredited under this provocation? Obviously, they did not go there to show the truth or tell about Ukraine's violation of the Minsk agreements, because we have never seen the truth in these publications," said the head of News Front.

We will remind, earlier the head of the department Sergei Shoigu said that in the Donbass, namely in the settlements of Priazovskoe and Avdeevka, there are more than 120 employees of private military companies of the United States. They are engaged in equipping firing positions in the homes of ordinary people and at facilities that are classified as socially significant.

American mercenaries are preparing Ukrainian special forces and radicals for active hostilities. The likelihood of provocations is high. Containers with unidentified chemical components were brought to Avdiivka and Krasny Liman.

The DPR said that the delivery of chemical weapons from the United States to Ukraine took place in October

[RIA Novosti] US planes supplied Ukraine with an "antidote" for chemical weapons back in October, then delivered the toxic substances themselves, said Eduard Basurin, an official spokesman for the People's Militia of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic.

It was unloaded at the Kiev airport Borispol . The second shipment arrived in November.

"It (chemical weapons Ed.) arrived in metal flasks of 45 millimeters," said Basurin on the air of the TV channel "Russia 24".

According to him, now chemical weapons are stored in warehouses in the Kharkov region.

In December, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that American private military companies were planning a provocation using chemicals in the Donbass. According to him, for this purpose, "reservoirs with unidentified chemical components" were brought to Avdiivka and Krasny Liman. There are about 120 representatives of American PMCs in the region who train Ukrainian special forces, Shoigu said.

On Thursday, the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin said that Ukraine already has chemical weapons. Whether Kiev will apply it or not is "a matter of time," he noted, expressing the hope that this will not happen. The substances themselves, he said, were packaged in such a way that they can be dropped from drones.

In April 2014, the Ukrainian authorities launched a military operation against the self-proclaimed DPR and LPR, which declared independence after the coup d'etat in Kiev in February 2014.

According to the latest UN data, about 13,000 people became victims of the conflict. The issue of resolving the situation in Donbass is being discussed, including during the meetings of the contact group. But even after the armistice agreements, shootings continue, in the DPR they announced the shelling of residential areas with Ukrainian heavy artillery.

Moscow has repeatedly stated that Kiev is not fulfilling the Minsk agreements and is delaying negotiations to resolve the conflict.

OSCE says ceasefire agreement reached for eastern Ukraine

KYIV, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Negotiators from Ukraine, Russia and the Organisation of Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) agreed to restore a full ceasefire between the Ukrainian government forces and Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine, the OSCE said on Wednesday.

"I was delighted that participants expressed their strong determination to fully adhere to the Measures to Strengthen the Ceasefire agreement of 22 July 2020," the Special Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office in Ukraine and in the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG), Ambassador Mikko Kinnunen said in a statement.

Kyiv and Moscow have blamed each other in recent months for violation of a previous ceasefire, which had been agreed in July 2020 and helped significantly reduce the number of casualties last year.
