“The EU condemns the use of heavy weapons and the indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas in clear violation of the Minsk agreements and international law,” Borrell said in a statement.

According to him, statements from the “non-government-controlled regions of Donetsk and Lugansk” about the possibility of an attack by Ukraine are unfounded.

He added that the EU calls on Russia to de-escalate.

Earlier, the People's Militia of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic presented a plan for a possible offensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Donbass.

In addition, the DPR recorded the movement of tanks, self-propelled artillery mounts and howitzers of the Ukrainian military near the line of contact.
