In addition, we have noted the increased activity of the sniper groups of the 58 and 10 teams of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of settlements Novotoshkovskoe and Zolotoe. Also in a number of settlements, the enemy intensified reconnaissance activities using unmanned aerial vehicles and reconnaissance groups.

- he said - These facts indicate that the Ukrainian leadership does not intend to comply with the Minsk agreements and is preparing to escalate the conflict in the Donbas.

We do not give in to provocations, but we do not lose vigilance. In the case of gross violations by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they are ready to give a decent response to the aggressor.
