Donetsk Chronicles for the week of August 19-25 from the military man "Mag"
This week the hottest evening was Sunday. All types of weapons worked except aviation. I have not heard our artillery for a long time, probably since January 2017, when the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to break through the front line in the area of nuclear warheads.
In the evening in 16: 40 under the cover of a strong mortar shelling of the APU attempted to break through the front line in the area of Sands - Airport. The Armed Forces of the DPR prevented an attempt to create a bridgehead by the forces of the motorized infantry platoon of the 57 separate motorized brigade for the subsequent attack on Donetsk near the Airport. We were forced to give an adequate and commensurate response to the advancing enemy and successfully thwarted the fulfillment of the task set by the Ukrainian leadership on the eve of Ukraine’s “dependence”. At the same time, the losses of the Ukrainian side amounted to two dead, five wounded soldiers, and one BTR was also shot down.
Such a gift for the upcoming holiday, in the form of congratulatory funerals, was prepared for the families of the dead Ukrainian soldiers by the commander of the "ATO" Lokota and the commander of the 57-th brigade Krasilnikov.
We also expected 24 provocations of August after the parade of the APU and NATO in Kiev and 26 of August on the day of the city of Donetsk. But everything worked out.
With 00: 00 25 August was a “school truce”, but it did not last an hour.
According to the information we have, there is an increase in losses in the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that are not related to the performance of combat missions.
The commanders of the units are trying to conceal the dead and wounded servicemen of the Armed Forces in every possible way from the higher command. The worst situation is in the 28 th Ombre of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Mariupol direction. According to our information, only in July of this year, the total number of dead and injured 28 brigade soldiers exceeded 20 people. The main causes of non-combat losses remain the abuse of alcoholic beverages and narcotic substances, the supply of which is carried out by the so-called volunteers, in exchange for weapon and ammunition.
Two saboteurs from the 28 th Ombre of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, when installing an improvised explosive device near Granitniy along the road, which civilians were moving along, violated the sequence of his transfer to the military position. As a result, they themselves were blown up on it. After the blast, one of the nearby fields caught fire. The commander of the 28 th Ombre carefully tries to hide this fact from the higher command.
The number of suicide cases also increased, including among officers. So, in the 72 th Ombre two days ago, an officer from the brigade management hanged himself in the military rank of captain. Before his death, he repeatedly complained to his fellow servicemen that he did not want to continue to participate in this war and could not quit, since he would be left without means of support for the “citizen”. Apparently, facing a difficult choice, the Ukrainian officer found the only possible way out for himself - to die.
