"Without
electricity now remain Sergeyevka and Leninskoye," the Donetsk News Agency
reported
DONETSK, January 8. /TASS/. The Ukrainian armed forces on Saturday night shelled southern regions of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), where two villages remain without electricity, the local authorities said on Sunday.
"Last
night, from about 20:00 to 22:00, from the Ukrainian positions the fire was
directed on Sakhanka," the Donetsk News Agency quoted an official.
"One house was damaged, and without electricity now remain Sergeyevka and
Leninskoye."
On December
21, 2016, the Contact Group seeking to find a solution to the Donbass crisis
agreed to introduce a ceasefire in Donbass starting from midnight December 24.
The current attempt to "indefinitely" cease the fire in Donbass has
become the tenth since the conflict erupted in south-eastern Ukraine.
The Package
of Measures to fulfil the September, 2014 Minsk agreements, known as Minsk-2,
that was signed in Minsk on February 12, 2015, envisaged a ceasefire regime
between Ukrainian government forces and people’s militias in the
self-proclaimed republics in Donetsk and Lugansk (DPR and LPR) starting from
February 15, 2015, and a subsequent withdrawal of heavy weapons from the line
of engagement. The deal also laid out a roadmap for a lasting settlement in
Ukraine, including local elections and constitutional reform to give more
autonomy to the war-torn eastern regions.
