The military has used banned heavy artillery, including against Aleksandrovka and Maryinka.

152mm and 122mm caliber self-propelled artillery guns and howitzers, mortars and tanks are firing. A residential five-storey apartment building in Kuybyshevsky district of Donetsk was hit directly.

According to Basurin, the Ukrainian military is trying to sabotage the Minsk agreements and provoke DPR army to retaliate.

The President of Ukraine is trying to resume the fighting and to escalate the tension in Eastern Europe once more. We address the heads of European states and Russia, as well as international organizations to stop the criminal actions of Poroshenko in Donbass.
