National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine has introduced "silence mode" in the east of the country
In turn, the DPR authorities stated that they did not receive notice of this, but the shooting and explosions in the center of Donetsk really stopped.
“I hear from you for the first time that they have declared a“ silence mode. ” We have not yet received (notification). But (such) the regime (even if it is installed) was not particularly felt here. In the suburbs of Donetsk were shelling. If they declare a “silence regime” or a truce - is this good for them: (means) or they have an emergency situation around the airport, if they have nowhere to go, they declare a “silence mode” to save their units that were under siege ”, - quotes the press service of the DNI RIA "News".
The Deputy Speaker of the DPR Supreme Council, Miroslav Rudenko, also stated that he had no information about the “silence mode”, but since the evening of the shooting and explosions in the center of Donetsk was not heard.
“No information came directly to the Supreme Council about the“ silence regime ”, that is, no one formally applied to the NSDC or anyone else. Now in the center of Donetsk it is really quiet, until the explosions and firing are not heard, although all these days there was also shooting this afternoon. But now in the center is not directly audible, ”he said.
Meanwhile, representatives of the DPR headquarters reported that, in general, the situation in the Donbas remains tense: at least two civilians were killed in the last 24 hours, and five more were injured.
“The situation has not changed significantly and remains tense. The cease-fire by the opposing sides was generally respected, but there were seven violations of the truce by the Ukrainian side, ”the headquarters noted.
LifeNews notes that prior to the introduction of the “silence regime”, the Ukrainian security forces shelled the private sector of Donetsk during 8-9 days.
“They work purely in the private sector. Yes, where they saw the militia here? My brother's house burned down, one car barely managed to drive off. They rushed in with fire extinguishers, but this did not help, it was burning very strongly, ”said a local resident, Alexey.
