Kyiv, November 16, 2015.<\/strong><\/em> \u201cIn case the situation in the ATO zone escalates further, the command will have to bring back artillery and mortars to the first line of defense in order to defend Ukrainian positions and save lives of Ukrainian servicemen. The OSCE mission has been notified accordingly. Complete withdrawal of weapons from the contact line by ATO forces has been verified by the mission monitors. However, no OSCE reports on weapons withdrawal by militant groups have been produced,\u201d said Presidential Administration spokesperson on ATO related issues Colonel Andriy Lysenko at a press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center. For the first time in a week militants opened fire towards positions of ATO forces in Svitlodarsk area (Donetsk sector) in proximity to the contact line. It happened near Lozove and Luhanske yesterday. It was quite calm near Horlivka yesterday \u2013 only one armed incident was registered in Novhorodske. Most complicated situation stands on western outskirts of Donetsk. \u201cEnemy regularly opens fire towards our positions to detect the weapons and defense systems of ATO forces. Apart from hostile mortars, use of small arms and grenade launchers was registered,\u201d explained the ATO spokesman.<\/p>\n

In the Luhansk sector militants fired upon the contact line positions of ATO forces on the Bakhmutska road near Novotoshkivske. \u201cAdversary used small arms, antiaircraft mount ZU-23-2 and WWII-type 82-mm mortars,\u201d elaborated Colonel Lysenko. Near Zolote three servicemen of the Ukrainian Armed Forces hit a hostile radio-guided mine and were killed. \u201cOne hostile provocation also occurred to the south-east of Popasna. Adversary used small arms,\u201d added Andriy Lysenko. In the Mariupol sector militants violate ceasefire in particular spots, however, in contrast to other sections on the frontline conduct precision fire upon the positions of ATO forces. \u201cThus two such episodes occurred yesterday near Hranitne,\u201d said the ATO spokesman. Another militant provocation happened in Shyrokyne. Militants were firing with small arms for around 30 minutes towards Ukrainian positions.<\/p>\n

The perpetrator was conducting racketeering and was passing the obtained money to militants. Ukraine\u2019s Security Service also detained a resident of Poltava region who enlisted in the \u201cRusskaya pravoslavnaya armiya\u201d (eng. \u2013 Russian Orthodox Army) militant group in the beginning of 2014, actively took part in combat actions against the ATO forces, stood guard at militant checkpoints in Horlivka and Donetsk and was moving military equipment from Russia to the temporary occupied areas. \u201cThe militant was detained when he was back to his native region for a rest.
