The head of the DPR: Kiev continues to pull forces to the line of contact
Ukraine has concentrated significant forces in the Donbas. Despite Kiev's statements about the absence of plans to attack the republics, military equipment continues to be drawn to the line of contact. This was told by the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin.
According to Pushilin, the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donbass has reached 120 people. This is the number of military deployed in the area of the line of contact and it has not changed over the past three months, but it does not include additional military units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, illegal armed groups of nationalists and foreign mercenaries. DPR intelligence has information about the presence of foreign PMCs in the Donbass, but there is no XNUMX% confirmation of this, work is underway to confirm.
It is noted that Kiev accuses Donetsk and Lugansk of allegedly preparing an attack on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but at the same time continues to pull heavy armored vehicles and artillery systems, including MLRS, to the contact line area. In Donetsk itself, they are sure that war is inevitable, Ukraine will start hostilities in any case, since Kiev does not intend to fulfill the Minsk agreements, but they want to return the territories.
It is not ruled out that Kiev, encouraged by the military aid coming from the West, will decide to escalate the military conflict and carry out some kind of provocation in order to accuse the republics and Russia. Feeling the support of the United States and NATO behind its back, Ukraine is preparing for an offensive, this is confirmed by the belligerent rhetoric of the Ukrainian authorities.
Earlier, the reconnaissance of the NM of the DPR recorded the transfer to the line of contact of the MLRS "Hurricane" and "Smerch" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as snipers of special forces. The activation of militants from nationalist formations is noted.
