By Vera Kasiyan [LB] The Joint Forces Operation Headquarters denied reports that Ukrainian troops had seized a temporarily occupied village in Donbas. This is an interpositional space near the village of Granitnoye. "The Joint Forces Command claims that this information is untrue. This is another attempt by illegal Russian armed groups to discredit and accuse Ukraine of violating the line of demarcation," the press center of the Joint Forces Operation Headquarters said. Instead, as the headquarters emphasize, it was in this area that the irregular armed formations of the Russian Federation on the territory of ORDLO, violating the comprehensive ceasefire regime, opened fire with weapons prohibited by the Minsk agreements. "The servicemen of the Allied Forces are monitoring the situation and continue to perform tasks to repel and deter the armed aggression of the Russian Federation. The positions of the Ukrainian military remain unchanged," they added. As of 5:00 p.m., the press center of the Joint Forces Operation Headquarters reported that Russian mercenaries fired 122omm artillery near Granitnoye three times . The Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor's Office has launched criminal proceedings under the article "violation of the laws and customs of war" over the shelling of Granitnoye by pro-Russian militants . The occupiers fired mortars at the village. Six residential buildings and a power line were damaged. There are no civilian casualties. In all, the enemy has violated peace agreements seven times since the beginning of the day. As a result of hostilities, a Ukrainian serviceman was killed and another was wounded. |
