The statement was published on the website of the press service of the President of Ukraine.
Zelensky said that he believes shelling at the Granit is an attempt to “thwart the Minsk process and jeopardize an agreement to resume negotiations in the Norman format.”
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are charged with “instantly and firmly reacting to any other attempts of armed provocations against Ukrainian civilians and military personnel”.
According to the Combined Forces Operation, in the southern outskirts of Granite, an KrAZ truck of one of the environmental protection units hit the shelling. One soldier died, another was injured.
On July 8, Zelensky turned to Russian President Vladimir Putin with a proposal to discuss in Minsk the situation in connection with the Crimea and the Donbas with the participation of the leaders of the United States, Great Britain, Germany and France.
