Three paras from the latest OSCE report
The fighting at and around Donetsk airport continued with increased intensity. Between 08:00 and 18:00hrs, at the Joint Centre for Control and Co-ordination (JCCC) observation point at Donetsk central railway station (“Donetsk People’s Republic” (“DPR”)-controlled, 8km north-west of Donetsk city centre), the SMM heard a total of 306 explosions.[1]
At the JCCC headquarters in Soledar (government-controlled, 75km north of Donetsk), the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Russian Federation Armed Forces representatives at the JCCC presented the SMM with two separate logbooks. Out of 66 recorded ceasefire violations, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attributed 53 to the “DPR” and the “Lugansk People’s Republic” (“LPR”). The logbook presented by the Russian Federation Armed Forces indicated that 57 out of the recorded 74 ceasefire violations had been attributed to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The SMM revisited three “DPR”*, two “LPR” and seven Ukrainian Armed Forces heavy weapons holding areas, the location of which complied with the respective withdrawal lines. At one “DPR” site, the SMM noted that a previously recorded artillery piece (122mm 2S1 “Gvozdika”) was missing. At the two “LPR” holding areas, the SMM found all previously recorded weapons to be in situ. At the Ukrainian Armed Forces holding areas, the SMM found some previously recorded weapons missing: one self-propelled howitzer (152mm 2S3 “Akatsiya”), two anti-tank guns (100mm 2A19 MT-12 “Rapira”), three multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) (122mm BM-21 “Grad”), four towed howitzers (152mm “Msta-B”), and three towed howitzers (152mm 2A36 “Giatsint-B”).
