The Foreign Minister recalled that the SMM only notes a large number of shelling and destruction, but does not indicate who is conducting the main shelling and where the bulk of the destruction is.

“We will strive to ensure that this kind of information on an ongoing basis, specifically, indicating the initiators of ceasefire violations, indicating the targets that are being hit ... is provided to the OSCE members on a regular basis,” Lavrov said.

So far, the SMM is trying to “smooth out” those points that indicate the guilt of the Ukrainian military, he said.

The day before, the self-proclaimed LPR stated that the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to fire on the territory of the republic, and the situation on the front line in Donbass has sharply escalated.

According to the People's Militia of the LPR, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, through shelling, are trying to provoke the forces of the republic to return fire in order to start active hostilities.
