Exit from the dead end with battles

This is not to say that the truce in the Donbass was observed so strictly. Nevertheless, yesterday’s affairs around Maryinka are his unconditional violation. There are two questions: that Maryinka has changed tactically and - how will this affect the same Minsk agreements.

Maryinka ( Ukr. Mar'ynka ) - a city of district significance in the Donetsk region near the Rleznogorovka railway station. It is included in the Donetsk agglomeration. About 10 thousand inhabitants. In July - August 2014, Maryinka turned out to be between the forces of the DPR and the Armed Forces of Ukraine and repeatedly passed from one side to the other. With understood consequences for the population. Well, now - again. Yes, according to the Minsk agreements, this is a territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities, however, the striking line is not far there.

What the separatists report

The information on their part unexpectedly collected an elephant .

"The explanations of the DPR itself are reduced to the fact that the offensive was the response to the recent shelling, which underwent the territory controlled from the Ukrainian side ..." What we had expected for so long had finally happened. Tired of permanent shelling and provocations from the Ukrainian punishers, the army of the Donetsk People’s Republic went on the offensive on several sections of the front in order to force the Kiev government to the world and cut off and cut off The military and political leadership of Ukraine, which was presumptuous from impunity, - the militia with the call sign of the Varangian told reporters.

At the same time, in the leadership of the DPR, it seems that they did not agree on whether to admit in the offensive - and an open violation of the ceasefire - or not. The local Ministry of Defense for several hours has made a number of statements poorly consistent with each other:
- that there is no attack on Maryinka ;
- that the battle in this area is still going on ;
- that it is supposedly Ukrainian troops are trying to break into the territory of the DPR;
Finally, that the militias do not attack Maryinka, because " they are there."

From the Ukrainian side

There is a summary from the League-Online league. Everything is much there (it is given selectively, completely according to the movements of technology and actions - here ):

"On June 3, from approximately 04:10 in the morning, the Russian-terrorist troops began massive shelling of the positions of Ukrainian troops in the area of ​​N.P. Maryinka. Starting from 6: 45-7: 00 on the Maryinka-Krasnogorovka Russian-Terrorist troops moved to active offensive operations.

The following divisions of the militants participated in the shelling, according to the information resistance group: two divisions of the 122-mm 2C1 cloves (in total of about 18 installations); eight 152 mm guns "MSTA-B"; at least six 152 mm self-propelled guns 2C3 "Acacia"; Three units of 152-mm self-propelled guns 2C5 "Hyacinth" [...] "

It must be clarified that the IP group is not an official press center of the ATO. Sometimes it’s not accurate and not even always adequate - this is especially true for their evaluative judgments. Further: “After an unsuccessful attempt to attack the ATO forces, the militants used the reactive systems of volley fire. Three times massive blows from the BM-21 Grad RSOs were struck both in the front edge and on the tactical rear of our troops (in addition, about 11:30 a volley of the 9K58“ tornado ”was recorded in tactical rear of Ukrainian troops and civilian objects in The N.P. Kurakhovo district).

The composition of all tactical groups of Russian-terrorist troops operating in the Petrovsky district of Donetsk in the direction of N.P. Maryinka, entered armored vehicles and vehicles. The artillery was applied centralized, adjusted and controlled from one center. The use of artillery of the militants of one of the most difficult methods of conducting artillery shooting was noted - the conduct of the accompanying fire (although one of the avant -garde groups of advancing terrorists escaped forward and fell under the blow of their own artillery) [ ...]

As a result of the fire fight on the western and southwestern outskirts of Maryinka, the enemy managed to reach the loss of several units of armored vehicles and transport to reach the advanced checkpoint of the Ukrainian troops and occupy it (this has become the maximum achievement of the Russian-terrorist forces per day) [...]

In turn, starting from 13:00, Ukrainian troops pulled the artillery to the front edge, while conducting the deployment of tactical reserves behind Maryinka. ( The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, against this background, stated that to stop the offensive, the Ukrainian military was forced to apply artillery prohibited by the Minsk agreements ). The Ukrainian troops dealt a combined strike of the receiver and reactive artillery at the line, which at that time reached the strength of the enemy. A counterattack was also made to an ATO forces left earlier. The militants were forced to leave a previously occupied checkpoint and move towards Aleksandrovka to the source line [...]

By the end of the day of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, the enemy’s resistance was finally crushed in the Maryinka area. At night, the enemy carried out active shelling the positions of the ATO forces, without attempts to resume offensive actions. "

Why all this?

The version that the activity began not the Ukrainian Armed Forces, supports the OSCE (however, the DPR does not deny that they began the offensive - well, as if in response to shelling). From June 2 to 3, the OSCE special monitoring mission was recorded "a significant movement of heavy weapons of militants of the so -called DPR 14 km from Maryinka", etc.

It is completely incomprehensible why it was - if from the point of view of common sense. Of course, “in the field” common sense can be slightly different - due to local conditions. But there is somehow no understanding there, because there are very different versions. For example, to advance to advance, because - and what else to do in the DPR? Another version is this : " Ukrainian fighters believe that this is a distracting maneuver. The main goal is Artemovsk." Artemovsk yes, recently it has been fired often. To the north of Debaltsev, Artyomovsky coke, such things. There is an exotic version , chief inspector for the humanitarian and social support of the Main Inspectorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine V. Fedichev, for some reason believes that the Russian Federation “before the Summer Summer summit” is trying to draw the forces of Ukraine into conflict in order to demonstrate the guilt of the Ukrainian side in violation of the Minsk agreements. ” It is difficult to imagine-they come, and the "seven" (will work on June 7-8 in Germany) immediately belongs to the separatists, etc.

Another option from the journalist of the League of Peter Shuklinov in his FB , "theory: the offensive of the Russian troops is associated with the firm position of Ukraine to introduce a complete blockade of the occupied territories." And this is already curious. That is, not that it was precisely to this - it is just not clear what to react to: if there is such a blockade, then Ukraine in fact comes out from uncontrolled territories - what is there to come, you need to wait? A complete contradiction of common sense. But the whole package is curious. Schuklinov recalls that the blockade was voiced by the head of the BPP Y. Lutsenko faction. From the rostrum of the Rada, he said that "the practice of blockade of the uncontrolled territory of the Luhansk region should be extended to part of the Donetsk region uncontrolled by Ukraine." Moreover, he referred to Poroshenko’s village: "The President of Ukraine believes that the cancer tumor is subject to blockade. The practice of the head of the Lugansk military-civil administration of Mr. Moskal, who banned any movement of transport, is recognized as correct, it should be widespread into the territory of the Donetsk region."

And then he also told more affordable words on TV : “Until the terrorists will give prisoners, they will not stop shelling - they will not receive food from our side. All our citizens who understand this situation must go to the free territory of Ukraine ... Large industrial enterprises that are registered in Ukraine will transport their goods and pay taxes. But goods with food consumption in the occupied territories Donetsk and Lugansk region should not go. Here, however, the position is slightly softened - only about the issuance of prisoners and the termination of shelling. In the Rada, he talked about the complete abandonment of the territory.

All this is all the more curious that on June 1 , a press release of the 10th report of the UN Mission to monitor human rights in Ukraine appeared: “The report covers the period from February 16 to May 15, 2015. There, in particular, the following paragraph:“ The population of territories controlled by armed groups is actually isolated from the rest of Ukraine. In a particularly difficult situation are older people, disabled and families with children. Many of them have no sources of income and are deprived of access to basic social services. According to the UN representatives, the requirement to obtain permits introduced by the Ukrainian authorities significantly limits the freedom of movement through the line of contact, and also gives rise to corruption. "

And here it turns out that P.P. It is no longer the president of Ukraine, but simply a neutron bomb some kind of (“large industrial enterprises ... will take their goods and pay taxes, but goods with food, consumer goods .. should not go). Well, Lutsenko (M. is the best intentions within the framework of his mental abilities). It will be possible to find out on Thursday-Poroshenko will come to the annual message to the annual post The Verkhovna Rada will be about the inner and external position of Ukraine.

Well, in the DPR with the creative, it’s also not very good: what to do - they don’t know there. And what do they do when they do not know? They go on the attack or forbid something. The attack is already described above, and here are the prohibitions. Опубликован указ N 231 от 2 июня 2015 года " О запрете деятельности иностранных неправительственных организаций (НКО) на территории ДНР": "Постановляю: запретить на территории Донецкой народной республики деятельность иностранных неправительственных организаций, финансируемых зарубежными странами, которые поддерживают украинские националистические взгляды и непосредственно участвуют на стороне киевских властей в оказании военной, политической, экономической, Information and other assistance in the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic occupied by Ukrainian military personnel. ”

"Decrees", in fact, A. Zakharchenko. That is - in the fact of the blockade and on the other hand, it is clear that humanitarian organizations also include NGOs. Yes, the preamble reports that the reason for the ban was the "activation of foreign NPOs", which are used "as a cover for intelligence and subversive activities to the detriment of state security."
