SMM spots Grad MLRS, dozens of tanks near Novoselivka and Pokrovka

According to a report of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) issued on September 15, a long-range UAV spotted seven tanks (five probable T-72 and two type undetermined) and three multiple launch rocket systems (BM-21 Grad, 122mm) in a training area near Novoselivka (37km north-east of Donetsk). In addition, in a training area near Pokrovka (36km east of Donetsk), three multiple launch rocket systems (BM-21 Grad, 122mm), three self-propelled howitzers (2S1 Gvozdika, 122mm), 10 tanks (type undetermined) and three towed howitzers (probable D-30 Lyagushka, 122mm) were recorded," the report says.

These facts clearly indicate a violation of the Minsk agreements and the agreements on measures to strengthen the ceasefire regime, reached on July 22, 2020.

Ukrainian soldiers continue to adhere to the terms of a full and comprehensive ceasefire and are ready to adequately respond to the enemy’s possible insidious actions.
