DPR envoys have
called on observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe (OSCE) to make the Ukrainian military abide by the current ceasefire
agreement.
DONETSK, October 12.
/TASS/. The Ukrainian military shelled the Kominternovo settlement in the south
of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) overnight into Saturday,
the DPR militia said in a statement.
"Last night, war
criminals from the 36th Marine Brigade carried out a massive shelling attack on
the Kominternovo settlement. A 120 mm mine hit a home, causing damage,"
the Donetsk News Agency quoted the statement as saying.
The DPR militia added
that international human rights organizations and the DPR Prosecutor General
would be informed about the attack. DPR envoys have called on observers from
the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to make the
Ukrainian military abide by the current ceasefire agreement.
On July 17, members
of the Contact Group on resolving the situation in eastern Ukraine declared an
indefinite ceasefire in Donbass starting on July 21. The ceasefire agreement
particularly includes the parties’ obligations to take additional measures to
ensure the ceasefire, which is what the Donbass republics had called for. The
agreement particularly emphasizes the need to abandon offensive and
reconnaissance operations, as well as the deployment of heavy weapons to
settlements, particularly to civilian infrastructure facilities, including
schools, kindergartens and hospitals. However, the Ukrainian military violated
the new ceasefire on the very first day, shelling the Novaya Tavriya
settlement.
