Donetsk People Republic ready to redeploy heavy armaments if Ukraine does not stop offensive

The Chairman of the Donetsk People Republic Pushilin has released a statement condemning Ukrainian army violations of Minsk agreements, and promising “symmetrical response” if they do not cease hostilities as agreed.
