In the past 24 hours, the Russian occupation forces twice violated the ceasefire in the Donbas warzone.

That’s according to a morning update by the Joint Forces Operation Staff, Ukrinform reports.

Toward Svitlodarsk, the occupiers opened fire using small arms, as a result of which a local civilian was wounded. The man was rushed to the Svitlodar City Hospital by medics with one of the Ukrainian Army’s mechanized brigades.

Russian mercenaries also fired grenades at Ukrainian defenders not far from the settlement of Pisky.
