Operational data from Information Resistance:

Russian-terrorist forces continue active operations in the conflict zone, increasing the intensity of shelling the positions of Ukrainian troops and intensifying the activities of their sabotage and reconnaissance groups.

There is a concentration of enemy troops in the area marked Lysychansk andDebaltseve where weapons, military equipment and live forces from the terrorist groups and the Russian troops, are being transferred.

There is a transfer of Russian troops observed, in the direction of the town of Volnovakha [Donetsk Oblast/region].

There are regular attacks on the positions of Ukrainian troops in the area of Shchastya[Luhansk Oblast].

The situation remains very tense in Donetsk, where the positions of Ukrainian troops at the airport are being shelled almost continuously. For the past few days more than 10 long attacks with mortars, cannon artillery and MLRS BM-21 Grad were observed. Attacks are carried out by a plurality of positions, both stationary (the base of the “Nova Poshta,” the mine waste heap “Panfilov” Shakhtarska Ploshta, the settlement of Grabar[Zaporizhzhia] and so on.) And from mobile firing points in the form of mortars mounted on vehicles.

At the same time the Russian-terrorist troops shelled civilian targets, including homes. The most critical situation of shelling the houses of civilians was observed in the towns ofDonetsk, Shchastya, Lysychansk.

In a number of settlements in the occupied territory of Donetsk and Luhansk region, the creation of the military commandant of the RF troops was observed. In Rovenky andSverdlovsk [both Luhansk Oblast] representatives of the commandant, together with the units of local terrorists, were involved in the search and detention of “deserters” to send them to the “front line,” as well as the cessation of looting. There were reported cases of executions for looting.

There is activity of subversive enemy reconnaissance groups noted north of Mariupol.

    February 16: Pro-Russian separatists cannot “morally” stop fighting for the town of Debaltseve

    February 16 – Continued sanctions against Russia, crisis in Ukraine, and January terrorist acts in Paris have placed under threat the possibility of a peaceful life for more than 800 million Europeans. This was raised in the letter by the speaker of Derzhduma in Russia, Serhiy Naryshkin, addressed to the Parliaments of European countries, the European Council, European Parliament, as well as the OBSE Parliamentary Assembly, writes Newsweek. The letter urges European Parliaments to stop the crisis. It is noteworthy that the letter is not a public letter. It was released to journalists by the Parliaments. Interesting – who will resolve this war – if not Russia? Of course, Russia decided to scare the world with a World War, which it itself is unleashing. A reminder, on Monday, the new EU sanctions against Russia took effect.

    February 16 – Illegal armed groups have fired at the positions of ATO forces over 112 times. The fragile ceasefire in Ukraine appears to have collapsed just 48 hours after being implemented, as separatist fighters and government troops continued to engage in tit-for-tat fighting.

    February 16 – Pro-Russian separatists cannot "morally" stop fighting for the town of Debaltseve in east Ukraine because it is "internal territory" and must respond to fire from Ukrainian troops, Denis Pushilin, a rebel representative.

    February 16 – In Rostov province, the Russian Emergencies Ministry has completed the preparation of the 12th column of humanitarian aid for Donbas and it is ready to ship. It consists of more than 170 trucks loaded with humanitarian aid totaling more than 1.5 thousand tons. The next "humanitarian convoy" of the Russian Federation, which crosses the Ukrainian border without the permission of the Ukrainian authorities, will be regarded as an invasion. This was stated by the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN, Yuriy Sergeyev, says Joinfo.ua.

    February 16 – The United States said on Feb. 16 it is "gravely concerned" by fighting in and around Debaltseve in eastern Ukraine that flared up after a ceasefire agreement and said it is closely monitoring reports of a new column of Russian military equipment moving toward the region.

    February 16 – The situation in eastern Ukraine is very unstable, and the path towards a total peace will be extremely complicated, especially concerning the situation around Debaltsev. This was stated by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
