As TASS clarifies, this decision was made in connection with the intention of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic to destroy the structures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the contact line.

“Our president was informed about this, he is extremely concerned about it.

We immediately took a step in response: we, Ukraine, are convening an extraordinary meeting of the Trilateral Contact Group literally for tomorrow, "Kulebu quotes the agency.

Earlier, the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin said that he had made a decision "to issue an order to open fire on illegally erected engineering structures in the area of ​​the Shumy settlement."

According to him, the Ukrainian side "ignored" the demands of the DPR, but he did not receive "a document stating that the violations were eliminated by the Ukrainian side, or at least work is underway to eliminate them."

He also noted that the detailed coordinates of the location of the operation will be communicated to the Ukrainian side through the JCCC.
