Kyiv,\u00a0September\u00a019, 2016.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>The most intense fighting in the Donetsk sector in the ATO zone took place in the Avdiivka industrial area yesterday. Militants used all types of small\u00a0arms\u00a0and conducted two mortar\u00a0attacks\u00a0in the evening,\u00a0said\u00a0Colonel\u00a0Andriy\u00a0Lysenko,\u00a0spokesman\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0Ministry\u00a0of\u00a0Defense\u00a0of\u00a0Ukraine\u00a0on\u00a0ATO\u00a0related\u00a0issues\u00a0at\u00a0a\u00a0press\u00a0briefing\u00a0at\u00a0Ukraine\u00a0Crisis\u00a0Media\u00a0Center.\u00a0\u201cThe\u00a0fire\u00a0was\u00a0launched\u00a0from\u00a0two\u00a0different\u00a0directions\u00a0\u2013\u00a0east\u00a0(Yasynuvata)\u00a0and\u00a0east-south-east\u00a0(Mineralne),\u201d\u00a0he\u00a0informed.\u00a0According to the spokesman,\u00a0Nyzhnie\u00a0Lozove\u00a0village at the Svitlodarsk bulge became another flashpoint, as Russia-backed militants launched 15 mortar shells there. Moreover, insurgents violated the ceasefire in\u00a0Novhorodske\u00a0and\u00a0Verkhniotoretske. The armistice held in other places, namely\u00a0Zaitseve\u00a0and Donetsk airport area.<\/p>\n

In the Mariupol sector Russia-backed militant groups were shooting at Ukrainian troops in Mariinka in the north and in\u00a0Pavlopil-Shyrokyne\u00a0frontline area in the south. \u201cOccupants used small arms and armored personnel carrier. ATO troops came under sniping fire in\u00a0Pavlopil,\u201d said Col. Lysenko. The ceasefire fully held in the Luhansk sector.\u00a0Ukrainian Armed Forces incur no casualties in combat in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n

The spokesman also informed that two Ukrainians, prisoners\u00a0Volodymyr\u00a0Zhemchugov\u00a0and\u00a0Yuriy\u00a0Suprun, returned to Ukraine yesterday after being kept captive in militants\u2019 dungeons.<\/p>\n

Zhemchugov\u00a0is a coalminer from Donetsk region. Militants captured him in early 2015, when he had\u00a0blasted a wire, sustaining eye\u00a0injury and\u00a0traumatic amputation of limbs. Another prisoner,\u00a0YuriySuprun, is a UN officer. \u201cMilitants flouted international law yet another time, demonstrating that neither UN nor OSCE mandate can provide protection against insurgents,\u201d emphasized Col. Lysenko.<\/p>\n

The spokesman said that the President of Ukraine approved Resolution of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine on defense expenditures in the state budget-2017.\u00a0\u201cThe\u00a0document\u00a0envisages\u00a0expenditures for securing national safety and defense at the level of not less than 5% of GDP, namely 3% for defense specifically. Finding priorities include the State Weapons Development Program until 2020, corvette ships building, reinforcement of air and air defense,\u00a0cyber security and countering terrorism,\u201d said the spokesman.<\/p>\n
