Summary of events in the DPR and LPR for the week of February 17-22 from the military commissar "Mag"
This week, the situation continued to be tense, with shelling below average. But, unfortunately, it was not without victims, three servicemen of the Armed Forces of the DPR were killed.
Militants from the 93 separate mechanized brigade under the command of the war criminal Klochkov fired at our positions near the town of Dokuchaevsk with mortars of 120 mm. Thereby, once again, violating the cease-fire regime, which is usual for them. As a result of this attack, one soldier of the Armed Forces of the Donetsk People's Republic was wounded.
For the evacuation of the wounded through the republican representatives of the JCCC, we requested a “silence” mode. The Ukrainian side, through the OSCE, confirmed its readiness to provide security for the removal of our serviceman and his delivery to a medical facility. Such arrangements are quite common in world practice and comply with the Geneva Convention, which provides for a humane treatment of the wounded. But, as I have already said, the Ukrainian militants are not an army, and the Geneva Convention, like the Minsk agreements, is an empty sound for them.
A UAZ ambulance car carrying a wounded serviceman was cynically shot with an anti-tank guided missile. For the guaranteed murder of our servicemen, Ukrainian insurgents insured themselves and fired at the evacuation group with additional mortars of 120 mm caliber. The result is obvious, the ambulance car, which had easily distinguishable signs with a red cross, was shot down, three people were killed: a medical instructor, an orderly driver and a wounded soldier. Having committed this war crime, the commander of the 93 Brigade Klochkov violated the Geneva Convention.
The Ukrainian military command did not even bother to hide the traces of the crime. On the contrary, propagandists of the headquarters "ATO" presented the Ukrainian audience with a murder, as the destruction of our BMP, which allegedly carried out reconnaissance. At the same time, the video material posted by Ukrainian propagandists is cut very carefully. One can see the moment of the launch of the rocket, the explosion and the ignition of an indefinite object.
DNR:
The enemy continues to build up the grouping in the zone of the so-called ATO and to pull heavy weapons to the line of contact, thereby violating the agreements reached. So in the areas of settlements:
