At the same time, militants have deployed artillery and MRLS used for shelling the nearby settlements from the entity.
These cynical acts of Ukrainian nationalists are aimed at provoking a counter-attack in order to accuse Russian Armed Forces and units of the Donetsk People’s Republic of the deaths among civilians caused by allegedly indiscriminate attacks, as well as to cover it in mass media, in accordance with a well-practiced methodology.
