By the way, is exactly the third anniversary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council decision to begin the so-called anti-terrorist operation in the southeast. That is, 3 years of war. Our military correspondent Alexander Sladkov will talk about how it changed Donbass. At 10 am, they were supposed to stop firing. It's 5:30 p.m. now. We are on the territory of the Shakhter commander's battalion, the Maryinka district.
Now, we’ll show what is happening here. I’ll say that the DPR army's press service has already reported on 12 attacks on the territory of the Republic carried out with 120-mm mortars from Avdeevka, where the Ukrainian troops are located, mostly on Yasinovataya and Yakovlevka. Three years of war, and the defenders of Donbass spent all this time in the trenches. They are at war. How many truces were there? The neighboring battalion has just been fired at. A shell exploded there. Look. Everything flies here. This is how "truce" looks like.
The positions resemble a partisan camp but on their own land. Racks of wood, warehouses, warehouses, warehouses, dugouts. These are the trenches of the DPR. The soldiers, former miners, take care of them. They say that you have a truce here? What truce? Today we saw Alexander Zakharchenko, the head of the DPR, under fire at the Yasinovataya traffic police post near Donetsk. Where are they shooting from? A regular battalion commander of the DPR army with a call sign Shakhter. He really is a former miner. He treats all truces without illusions.
The truce was announced today at 10 a.m. How's it going? You’ve just heard it yourself. Our guys are being fired at from your left. Battalion commander Shakhter, his soldiers, the DPR army, and many civilians in the Republic, feeling the burden, of the blockade, the repressions, and the war unleashed by Maidan, don't hope for Kiev's leniency at all. They want peace, but without defeat.
