20.07.2020, Lugansk.

Ukrainian military opened fire on the territory of Sanzharovka village in Donbass using large-caliber guns, the press service of the People’s Militia of the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) informed on July 20.

“Since the beginning of this day, militants of the 24th Brigade shelled Sanzharovka village using 122 mm artillery,” the press service said.

According to the press service, the Ukrainian military fired nine artillery shells on the settlement. The information about the destruction at the site of shelling and possible losses among civilians is currently being specified.

The Joint Centre for Ceasefire Control and Coordination earlier informed that in the morning of July 20, the Ukrainian military specifically targeted Kalinovka and Logvinovo villages in the LPR using 120mm mortar by firing 18 mortar shells.

Kiev’s military shelled Golmovsky and Dolomitnoye villages on the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic. A total of 33 rounds of ammunition were fired on the villages.

Weapons with a calibre higher than 100 mm are prohibited under the terms of the Minsk Agreements, which Ukraine has signed.

The issue of settling the situation in Donbas is being discussed during meetings of the contact group in Minsk, which has already adopted three documents regulating steps to de-escalate the conflict since September 2014. However, even after the ceasefire agreements between the parties to the conflict, shelling continues.
