Kyiv, April 1, 2015.<\/em><\/strong> Shyrokyne village, which is in close proximity to Mariupol, remained one of the hotspots of the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Ukrainian Armed Forces engaged in combat with the forces of Russia-backed militants, fighting off their attacks for several hours. The militants used 120-mm mortars to fire at the Ukrainian troops, stated Colonel Andriy Lysenko, ATO spokesperson, at a briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center. \u201cMoreover, Russian proxies attacked areas around Avdiivka from armored vehicles, 120-mm mortars and the artillery. The town came under fire as well, however, no losses were incurred,\u201d the ATO spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

Those settlements to the east of Mariupol, areas around the Donetsk airport, Horlivka and Stanytsia Luhanska remain the hotspots of the conflicts. Andriy Lysenko emphasized that militants keep restricting the freedom of movement for the OSCE observers. The monitors were not allowed to drive to Shyrokyne until an escort of the so-called \u201cDPR\u201d. Any restrictions to the mission\u2019s movement, as well as the use of heavy weapons such as the 120-mm mortars, blatantly violate the Minsk agreements.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian Armed Forces did not suffer any lethal casualties yesterday; four servicemen got wounded.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ukraine\u2019s Security Service detained the self-proclaimed \u201cMinister of the coal industry of \u201cLPR\u201d. \u201cHe illegally seized tons of Ukrainian coal last May with a tacit support of the former \u201cLPR\u201d leader Valeriy Bolotov. The militants appropriated the money from coal sales, while fired and threatened to injure those coal mine directors who refused to cooperate,\u201d Andriy Lysenko said.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian police officers in the Donetsk region seized a parcel that contained grenades, firearms and ammunition rounds in one of the offices of a courier company in Mariupol. Also, in Druzhkivka, Donetsk region, the law enforcers seized two F-1 grenades, ammunition and a case for RPG-22 grenade-launcher. Overall, 74 firearms and 20,000 pieces of ammunition have been seized in the Donetsk region since the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n

Col. Lysenko reported of the ongoing restoration of the Donbas infrastructure. The Ukrainian authorities opened a repaired bridge between Severodonetsk and Rubizhne in the Luhansk region that has been blown up by the militants back in July 2014. Moreover, a new batch of humanitarian aid from the Rivne region with food, bottled water and construction materials arrived to Kramatorsk. The aid will be distributed among residents of towns that suffered from militant attacks.<\/p>\n

Colonel Lysenko also told that the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko awarded Lieutenant Yehor Sherbakov and Lieutenant Dmytro Basov with the third-class Order of Bohdan Khmelnitsky, as well as chief petty officer Dmytro Vorobey, Sergeant Mykola Guryn and Senior Soldier Vladyslav Korzh with the third-class Order For Courage.<\/p>\n
