For several days now, Europe has been on the brink of a new war. The Russian army is mobilized along the border with Ukraine, the regions controlled by the separatists have now become explosive. This is happening in close proximity to us. It was during this difficult time that the Georgian government severed diplomatic relations with Ukraine for 11 months. Today, they have made a decision and are returning the ambassador to our friendly country. But on the part of the authorities, we find no statements in support of Ukraine.
The threat of a new war in Ukraine comes 35 kilometers from there. Occupied Donetsk is one of the main locations for the mobilization of the Russian occupation forces. Consequently, the Ukrainian defense line is now running through the Donetsk region. Work for the media in the Joint Operations Zone is limited. Before entering the area, everyone is warned that the Russian military may start firing at any time. The Russian army is trying to start a new war in Ukraine with a familiar scenario - violating the 2014 cease-fire agreement and firing anti-tank shells and mortars of various caliber from various positions at Ukrainian military positions.
According to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russian occupiers are hindering the work of the representatives of the OSCE monitoring mission. Today, the President of Ukraine handed over one presidential plane and one helicopter to the country's armed forces. Volodymyr Zelensky has been visiting troops stationed in Donbass for the past two days. In the past 24 hours, the Russian armed forces have violated the ceasefire 7 times, including 6 bombings and 1 remote mine. One serviceman of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was wounded in the bombing.
