The situation at the line of contact remains tense and tends to further escalate. The enemy continues to carry out activities that we assess as preparations for offensive actions

In the Donetsk direction, less than 15 km from our positions, People’s Militia reconnaissance has recorded the movement of Ukrainian tanks.
A tank company of the 53rd mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian armed forces has been redeployed near Novotroitske, and two tank platoons have been located on the north-western outskirts of Avdiivka.
A similar situation has developed in the Horlivka direction. A tank company of the 95th Airborne Assault Brigade was detected on the western outskirts of Novhorodske. It should be noted that last week the tank crews of the 95th Brigade underwent intensive fire and tactical training and practised offensive issues.
Enemy electronic warfare equipment is also active in these areas, preventing OSCE observers from conducting aerial monitoring and recording the deployment of prohibited heavy weaponry by the Ukrainian armed forces using UAVs. The loyalty of the leadership of the Special Monitoring Mission to the use of electronic warfare equipment by the Ukrainian armed forces is surprising.
One gets the impression that the OSCE monitors are satisfied with this state of affairs, when it is impossible to record violations on the part of Ukraine.
Arms and military equipment of the Ukrainian army in the so-called combined forces operation zone continue to be prepared for offensive operations in Donbas. The commission of the 54th mechanized brigade of the East Operational Tactical Group of the Ukrainian armed forces has completed an inspection of the staffing level and the recovery of malfunctioning weapons and equipment. According to the commission, the brigade is ready for offensive combat operations.
Against the background of the enemy’s preparation for active combat operations, the Ukrainian forces of information and psychological operations intensified their activities. Thus, as part of the “CRUSHING SWORD” information campaign, Ukrainian propagandists of the Ukrainian Armed Forces IPSO Centre 74 prepared and distributed on the Internet staged videos aimed at discrediting the defenders of Donbas.
We have at our disposal the original footage of these videos, which includes footage of the staged videos that have not yet been edited. You can familiarize yourself with these materials on the official website of the DNR People’s Militia.
In addition, the DPR’s intelligence service has obtained data on the deployment of a system of field repair and maintenance facilities in the area of the so-called combined Ukrainian Armed Forces operation.
At a meeting on this issue held at the Ukrainian General Staff, Ukroboronprom Director General Yuriy Husev reported on the readiness to provide specialists and repair equipment from the Kharkiv, Zhytomyr, Lviv and Mykolaiv armoured vehicle factories. At the moment, representatives of the OOS headquarters together with the heads of the Donetsk and Luhansk civil-military administrations are searching for suitable industrial premises.
Against the background of preparations for Ukrainian aggression against the independent republics, more volunteers are appearing who are ready, along with the People’s Militia troops, to defend Donbas independence against the Nazi regime in Kyiv. The number of people willing to serve in the People’s Militia of the Donetsk People’s Republic has also increased.
Volunteers are coming to us from internal regions of Ukraine, who no longer wish to tolerate the rule of Ukrainian nationalists, from the CIS and other European countries.
The DPR People’s Militia will be ready to give a worthy response to the Ukrainian aggressors.
