Mariupol after the battle
In Mariupol, the special operation of the Ukrainian military against separatists in Mariupol ended in the morning of June 13, which was completed on the morning of June 13, the special operation of the Ukrainian military against the separatists, the UNIAN agency. According to the commander of the Donbass volunteer battalion , Semen Semenchenko , 40 separatists were captured. There are no exact information on both dead and wounded on both sides.
The website of the National Guard of Ukraine reports that four military personnel were injured, one in serious condition. The civilian population was not injured. Ukrainian security forces promise to completely take control of the border section with Russia until Saturday.
In the operation, which began early on the morning of June 13 in Mariupol, units of the National Guard of Ukraine, special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Dnipro and Azov took part. As the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov wrote on his Facebook page , "there is a planned operation to eliminate the fortified areas of the DPR, led by criminal authority. It is a pity that Mariupol woke up explosions today." Explosions began to be heard in the city very early - at the beginning of the fifth in the morning. Here's what a resident of Mariupol said in an interview with Radio:
- Yesterday there was information about the detention of a self -proclaimed mayor of Mariupol Alexander Fomenko. Do you know something about this?
- This man was detained yesterday in the city center, most likely, the security forces of Ukraine. He was taken away for conducting further investigative measures, but where exactly we do not know.
According to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Arsen Avakov, as a result of the operation in Mariupol, key support points of the separatists were controlled, sniper points were destroyed, weapons and explosives were seized. The management of the special operation reported the successful suppression of the resistance of the separatists. The Ukrainian flag was posted over the city council of Mariupol, Avakov writes. In connection with the "stabilization of the situation in Mariupol", President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko instructed to transfer the office of the Donetsk regional state administration there.
-Now they are trying to serve an explosion as some kind of terrorist attack against Pushilin. But it is not clear what Pushilin has to do with it, if everyone knew that he was in Moscow. This was no secret to anyone. Local channels showed his speech to the DPR supporters in Moscow along with Zhirinovsky. Everyone was well aware, so it is not clear why it was to blow up this car. Information about what the attempt happened was distributed by people who sympathize with the DPR. They throw photographs in the media and social networks to attract the attention of journalists. In fact, explosions and shooting in Donetsk occur almost every day, and then some kind of car exploded in October Square, and they interpreted it immediately as an attempt on Pushilin. It seems to me that now there is an internal struggle, they are trying to clean each other. The so -called mayor of Slavyansk, Vyacheslav Ponomarev, was arrested by the commander of the People’s militia of Slavyansk Igor Strelkov.
-Is there any panic in connection with the explosion?
- The explosion was heard in about 10 km. In the houses, the windows were beaten nearby, the people who were there were generally taken aback. But there are practically no people left there, many are leaving. The only thing where people accumulate are trains. Yesterday, my friends escorted my daughter to Kyiv on a train. There are no tickets, lines right on the platform. People take tickets to any direction, just to leave. The cafes do not work on the streets, shops are closed, cultural institutions have stopped activities: theaters do not work, the library is closed, that is, everything is actually paralyzed, ”said Alexey Matsuka.
In Donetsk and other cities of the region, in recent days there are rumors that military equipment is moving on the part of the Russian border to Ukraine. This information was confirmed by the Radio Liberty correspondent Levko Stack , which is located in the city of Izyum:
- It is known that the tanks really were. There are already irrefutable evidence, a lot of videos, photos. They were seen in several cities. First in the snowy, they rode in the direction of Gorlovka, saw in Makeevka. There is a version that they move either to Donetsk or to Slavyansk. Minister Avakov said that part of the technique that crossed the border was destroyed, because now the separatists have not only three T72 tanks, they have BTRs, armored vehicles and artillery guns.
- How is the situation where you are now?
- In this city there is the headquarters of the Ukrainian military, so it is calm here. But raisins stands on the border between the Kharkov and Donetsk regions. Refugees from cities where the active phase of the conflict comes here. People can go further or stay here. There are quite a few refugees: by buses, by taxi-at the same time they pay a lot of money, since taxi drivers are deceiving them, someone is trying on the way ... The main thing for them is to get out of the city. There is no centralized mechanism for working with refugees and for their conclusion from the conflict zone. Yesterday, Vasily Krutov, the head of the SBU anti -terrorist center, said that the security forces were beginning to prepare a green corridor. Now he is gone, and people, in fact, are left on themselves. Nobody is engaged in them. When they come to raisins, they have nothing, because they simply broke off and left, leaving everything at home. But here no one is waiting for them. They need everything from housing and ending with food, clothes. This problem is now very acute: the number of people who leave is growing, and work with them is not carried out, ”said RS correspondent Levko Stack.
On Friday, Pavel Astakhov, Commissioner for the President of Russia for Child Rights, said that more than eight thousand refugees from the southeast of Ukraine arrived in the Rostov region on the night of June 13.
Maidan self -defense activists, accusing the leadership of the State Border Service of Ukraine of corruption and the inability to organize border protection in the east of the country, argue that after a conversation with them, the head of this department, Nikolai Litvin, wrote a resignation report. The border service itself claims that their leader continues to fulfill his duties, while the press service employees refuse to confirm or refute information about Litvin's resignation.
“The parliament is outraged not only by the fact that the GPSU works poorly (our border guards cannot stop the terrorists who penetrate from Russia), but also by the fact that the Russian Federation violates all the laws and officially passes these terrorists from its territory,” says Alexander Briginets, deputy of the Verkhovna Rada from the Batkivshchina party. - In this situation, it is difficult to determine where the responsibility of the border guards themselves ends and where the responsibility of the state begins, which could prepare the border for direct and indirect intervention by the Russian Federation. The border needs to be strengthened, order there. The border must move from the protection to defense, but to conclude who is to blame for this - the border detachment commander, the head of the GPSU, the Commander -in -Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces or the Verkhovna Rada - will be possible only after the investigation. The easiest way to find the switchman. We are now not interested in the search for guilty, we need to first strengthen the border.
Through the traffic points controlled by the separatists, a column of military equipment, including three T-72 tanks, was held on the eastern border from Russia on the east of Russia, said the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov:
"On Thursday, June 12, from the Russian Federation, in the area of the Dyakovo checkpoint, we recorded the passage of columns with armored personnel carriers, armored vehicles, artillery guns, and we observed three tanks that went across the border."
As it turned out, these tanks were previously in one of the Ukrainian military units in the Crimea and after the Russian occupation of the peninsula by the sea were transported to the mainland part of Russia. According to the “Information Resistance” group, with the penetration of militants and military equipment into the territory of Ukraine, the Russian armed forces carry out the operation to cover them.
The appearance in the war zone of tanks from Russia, as noted in Kyiv, obviously should be regarded as Moscow’s response to the peaceful initiatives of President Petro Poroshenko to resolve the situation in eastern Ukraine. Experts are convinced that now the Ukrainian authorities must either introduce martial law in Donetsk about the Lugansk regions, or continue the anti -terrorist operation in a new format.
Last night, as a result of hostilities on the eastern border, four Ukrainian military were killed, more than thirty were injured. In fact, Ukraine has not yet controlled 184 km of its border with the Russian Federation. Assistant Minister of the Interior Anton Gerashchenko at a press conference in Kiev said that until Saturday, June 14, the eastern border would be completely under the control of Ukrainian security forces:
- Throughout the night, the armed forces, with the support of the National Guard, made a march from south to north and north to south in order to cover that part of the border that remained undisguised after the massive attacks of terrorists. I think that until tomorrow the state border will be covered by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, all roads will be shot by armored vehicles, so in the event of any attempt by militants they will be destroyed.
Meanwhile, the Dnipropetrovsk governor, businessman Igor Kolomoisky, proposed to the president and commander -in -chief of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko to build on the border of Russia with the Kharkov, Lugansk and Donetsk regions almost two thousand kilometers long. It is supposed to dig ditches on the approaches to the wall and minimize this space. A metal fence made of high -strength steel with barbed wire, along which an electric current will pass, is estimated at about a hundred million euros. It may take 5-6 months for the implementation of this. According to the deputy governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region Svyatoslav Oleinik, many Ukrainian businessmen are financially ready to support the initiative to build such a wall.
The website of the National Guard of Ukraine reports that four military personnel were injured, one in serious condition. The civilian population was not injured. Ukrainian security forces promise to completely take control of the border section with Russia until Saturday.
In the operation, which began early on the morning of June 13 in Mariupol, units of the National Guard of Ukraine, special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Dnipro and Azov took part. As the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov wrote on his Facebook page , "there is a planned operation to eliminate the fortified areas of the DPR, led by criminal authority.

Here's what a resident of Mariupol said in an interview with Radio:
Ukrainian troops in Mariupol, June 13, 2014
- At 4.20, it was heard shooting from automatic weapons in the headquarters area, where activists of the Donetsk People’s Republic were located. This is in the very center of the city. The sounds of explosions and shots came. This actively lasted somewhere until 6 in the morning. Then the traffic police blocked the central streets of the city. As a result, the National Guard fighters occupied two buildings, which had previously been occupied by the DPR activists. In one building there was a power block in which weapons were located, in another building - the headquarters where there were civilian people supporting the DPR. Both that and another building are freed from the DPR. There are no victims among the civilian population, everyone is intact at home, it’s quiet in the city. For some time, transport did not work in the part of the city where active hostilities were held, now everything is restored. Small parts of the city remained where people have not yet been allowed to check if there were explosives there.- Yesterday there was information about the detention of a self -proclaimed mayor of Mariupol Alexander Fomenko. Do you know something about this?
- This man was detained yesterday in the city center, most likely, the security forces of Ukraine. He was taken away for conducting further investigative measures, but where exactly we do not know.

Denis Pushilin's blown -up car
In Donetsk itself on Friday night near the building of the Donetsk regional administration , the leader of the leader of the self -proclaimed "Donetsk People’s Republic" Denis Pushilin was blown up . Pushilin himself was not in the car in the car, he has been in Moscow for several days. Pushilin laid responsibility for the explosion on his political opponents. In Donetsk itself, the version of the assassination attempt is skeptical, says the editor -in -chief of the Donbass News of Aleksey Matsuka :-Now they are trying to serve an explosion as some kind of terrorist attack against Pushilin.
