The DPR Government and People’s Council Press Center announced that on January 19, 2015, the head of the DPR Aleksandr Zakharchenko issued a statement concerning the violation of the ceasefire by the Ukrainian side.
“I can with all confidence say that all Ukrainian attempts to retake the airport and to recoup the defeat which we inflicted on them last year, failed. The Ukrainian army had taken severe losses. Six armor-infantry attacks were launched on the terminal over the course of two days. They all were defeated. We also defeated Ukrainian attempt to break into Donetsk. Unfortunately, the Putilovskiy bridge was blown up. The entire column which attempted the breakthrough was destroyed. Three Ukrainian tank crewmen were taken prisoner. Ukraine is using the ceasefire in order to rearm, regroup, and restore combat effectiveness. Now we can see that Ukraine broke the ceasefire and went on the offensive.”
“We have never experienced the sort of artillery bombardment that we had experienced over the last two days. Ukraine is smashing the houses of peaceful residents: children, the elderly, women. They are using combat aircraft. Yesterday evening Ukraine bombed Gorlovka. A representative of the Coordinating Center was in the zone of fire. Shrapnel was flying past the OSCE mission in Donetsk.”
“We are peaceful people and do not want war, do not want to kill anyone. However, the DPR Armed Forces stand ready to repel any enemy attacks. As a result of our counter-offensive we have began combat operations on the outskirts of Avdeyevka. Yesterday Peski changed hands twice. Today we will conclude clearing operations.”
“I should note the upsurge of patriotism among the population. I want to address the international community, OSCE, one more time: if you share our opinion concerning the ceasefire, compel Kiev to fulfill their obligations under Minsk Agreements.”
