Despite the fact that an agreement was reached on a complete ceasefire in the Donbass, the State Duma deputy Alexei Zhuravlev, who visited the DPR, came under Ukrainian shelling. Fortunately, neither he nor the military accompanying him suffered. However, one of the convoy cars was damaged.



The car in which Zhuravlev was traveling, as a result, was forced to quickly turn around and leave the scene of the incident. The deputy’s departure was covered by fighters who were in another car.

As the politician then told reporters, he wanted to see for himself that the ceasefire had begun.

We went to the positions of the “Pyatnashka” battalion ... When we approached the positions of the battalion in the Yasinovataya area, they started shooting at us with mortars. Moreover, quite aiming. We got into one car, but our guys were prepared. There were neither wounded nor dead. However, the machine was disabled

- he said, adding that he saw with his own eyes, "what is the word of Kiev and Poroshenko."

It should be noted that Alexey Zhuravlev is the chairman of the Russian Rodina party. He was elected to the State Duma as a self-nominated candidate in the single-mandate constituency in the Voronezh region.

The deputy’s assistant Tatyana Kalegina said that Zhuravlev went to the Donetsk People’s Republic with a humanitarian mission. In addition, he wanted to get acquainted with the position of residents of Donetsk and other cities regarding the law recently signed by Mr. Poroshenko on the reintegration of Donbass. (Many experts believe that this law is a step towards a sharp aggravation of the conflict).

The shelling of the motorcade in which the Russian politician was traveling is not the first case of violation by the Ukrainian side of a freshly declared truce. It “didn’t set” from the early morning of March 5th.

Donetsk Agency News referring to the operational command of the DPR, it reports that at about half past four in the morning a snow truck fell under Ukrainian shelling. This happened near the village of Golmovsky near Gorlovka. It contained two public utilities officers. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but was damaged. technique.

It is also reported that in the evening, at 18:14, Ukrainian troops fired on the city of Dokuchaevsk. Two 82-mm mortar shells were fired at it.

According to the agreements reached on March 2 in Minsk, an “absolute truce” entered into force on March 5 from 00:00 Kyiv time (or from XNUMX:XNUMX a.m. Donetsk time). As the participants in the Contact Group meeting suggested, this truce should be “comprehensive,” “perpetual,” and “sustainable.” All military units of the Donetsk People’s Republic received an order for a complete ceasefire.

But in reality, the “absolute truce” once again turned out to be only a good wish, as evidenced by two incidents that occurred on the first day.

      What kind of "journalist" and why is it so unfair about people who convey to society the truth about what is happening?

    "... adding that he saw with his own eyes," what is the word of Kiev and Poroshenko "..."
