The invaders have put up checkpoints, leaving 3 tanks and 2 armored personnel carriers at each one, as well as platoon personnel and the moving on. In the Novoazovska suburbs heard shots. In the occupied territories, the Russian military are not concealing their military badges.

Along with them, from the territory of the Russian Federation, representatives of the so-called Donetsk Peoples’ Republic have entered. They are asking the local people to wait out a few days during the “volatile situation” and promised that then “everything will be fine; we will have our own republic.”

Ukrainian military have been forced to retreat under pressure of artillery fire, including “Grad”. There are casualties among soldiers and border guards battalions and some have been seriously injured. Our soldiers are asking for aid and heavy equipment.
