“In order to minimize shelling of Donetsk by artillery of Ukrainian troops during the days of the referendum, the DPR forces were given new Russian artillery reconnaissance stations, which revealed their positions almost from the first shot from the Ukrainian batteries,” the agency’s interlocutor said.

According to him, high-power 2S7M Malka howitzers worked in conjunction with the latest radars.
