Over the last 24 hours, Russian militants landed Ukrainian positions in Donbas twice. One Ukrainian serviceman deceased, another one suffered an injury in combat, Joint Forces Operation HQ reported.
The enemy used automatic grenade launchers to attack positions near Krasnohorivka (Donetsk region), and small arms to open fire near Prychepylivka (Luhansk region).
Near Shumy, Donetsk region, the enemy also initiated provocative shooting from grenade launchers.
Earlier, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba initiated the urgent meeting with his Russian colleague Sergei Lavrov - amidst the escalation that is observed in Donbas. Kuleba himself posted that on Facebook.
It is noted that the official initiated the conversation to discuss the situation and the ways to solve it.
"Today, the illegal armed formations committed provocations in the Joint Forces Operation area, where one Ukrainian serviceman perished and one more was wounded. These are the obvious attempts to disrupt the ceasefire and to create significant obstacles for the process of peaceful regulation in general. I insist: Ukraine stands for an unconditional and irrevocable commitment to the ceasefire. The path to peace and de-occupation of our territories is a thorny one, but it begins exactly when the guns are silent", Kuleba said.
