Today the Ukraine War "Rebel" Donetsk People's Republic reported that at 14.50 ( About 1.5 hours ago) the Ukraine Armed Forces violated the Minsk agreements by flying a army helicopter near the contact line. "in the area south of the settlement. Marinka, under the control of the Kiev government, at a distance of about 800 meters from the contact line, a Ukrainian helicopter was seen" said the DPR members of the Joint Center for the Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire (JCCC) . Paragraph 7 of the Memorandum of September 19, 2014, prohibits the flight of combat aircraft along the entire contact line to the width of the entire security zone (30 km),
About 20 minutes before the helicopter was seen witnesses say there was a large explosion of unknown origin heard.
The Donetsk Peoples Republic and the JCCC say "We call on the CMM OSCE to investigate this incident and record it in a daily report."
I should note for the readers that the DPR has no helicopters.
No great surprises there. I am amazed the Kiev junta does not use bombers to attack both the Donestsk and Lugansk region.
I read in the Kiev post today that the Kiev junta has passed a ''law'' through its fight club oops I meant parliament that renames its military offensive against the Donestsk and Lugansk regions. The Ukrainian armies attacks upon civilians settlements are no longer referred to as an ''Anti-Terrorist Operation''. The new law renames the 4 year old civil war as “taking measures to ensure national security and defense, and repulsing and deterring the armed aggression of the Russian Federation in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.”
In signing the new law President Poroshenko has claimed in a Facebook message that:
“Ukraine stays committed to the peaceful settlement for the occupied Donbas as provided by our international obligations,”.
It all reminds me of the doublespeak used in Orwell's 1984.
That's great news thanks for sharing
