“The militants of the 53rd brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces equipped five new positions in the area of the settlement of Starognatovka and dug 270 meters of trenches in the area of the settlement of Novogrigorovka,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
He also added that over the past day, soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have placed seven units of military equipment near residential buildings in the territory of Donbass controlled by Kiev.
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 requirements 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."
