Heavy tools of crime

Over the past day, six Ukrainian military died in the Donbass. This was stated by the speaker of the Administration of the President of Ukraine for ATO, Alexander Motuzyanik, reports Ligabusinessinform. 13 troops were injured, eight fighters are completed.

According to the ATO headquarters, on Saturday at the strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, fire was 77 times. In all directions, militants fired Ukrainian positions from large -caliber artillery and tanks. "Despite the armed provocations of the enemy, the ATO forces fully control the situation along the entire demarcation line," the report said.

The "Ministry of Defense" of the self -proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic announced the destruction of several reconnaissance groups of the Ukrainian military, trying to penetrate the "territory of the DPR" at different points of the contact line. It is stated that heavy weapons prohibited by the Minsk agreements are not used. "There is no heavy weapons there, all that was allowed, mainly, small arms and grenade launcher, that is, everything that is allowed," said the representative of the DPR.

In the report published on July 9, a report on the coordination of humanitarian issues (UKGV) of the UN noted that the situation in the Donbass is deteriorating . The number of civilians who died as a result of a conflict in eastern Ukraine last June reached a record mark from August 2015.

In total, 12 people were killed, another 57 people were injured. The majority suffered from artillery shelling - four dead and 37 wounded. At the same time, according to the report, the parties to the conflict used artillery systems, the use of which is prohibited by the Minsk agreements. Five more people died, and 14 were injured, blown up on mines and homemade explosive devices.

In total, according to VSGV estimates, 9740 people were killed from the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, 21.88 thousand suffered. Among the dead - up to 2 thousand civilians.

The document also states that the situation in the east of Ukraine will rather deteriorate, since both sides seek to capture objects in the buffer zone, which leads to a reduction in the distance between opponents. In addition, shelling often occurs near settlements and checkpoints on the contact line, which increases the risks of people crossing it every day.
