DONETSK, March 9.
/TASS/. The Ukrainian military violated the ceasefire ten times in the past 24
hours, shelling the territory of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic
(DPR), Head of the DPR mission to the Joint Center for Control and Coordination
(JCCC) Ruslan Yakubov said on Saturday.
"Over the past
24 hours, the Ukrainian Armed Forces violated the ceasefire ten times, firing a
total of 91 munitions," the Donetsk News Agency quoted him as saying.
Ten DPR settlements
came under fire. The Ukrainian military’s attacks involved 120 mm mortars,
