A lot of military equipment is hidden in residential areas



UNIAN: Ukraine's Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) headquarters says Russian-backed militants in eastern Ukraine have massed a force of 700 militant Russian tanks and 43,000 soldiers, of whom 9,000 are Russian servicemen, Ukraine's TSN news broadcaster reported.

Some experts expected an attack on May 9, celebrated as Victory Day in Russia and other former Soviet countries, but that day passed without much incident. However, the danger of possible active offensive operations is increasing, the ATO headquarters said.

Intelligence suggests that the militants have restocked their weapon and ammunition supplies, and they are targeting the positions of the Ukrainian armed forces in order to improve their skills for the active phase of hostilities.

The most threatening force of the enemy is its tank brigades, the headquarters said. The number of armored vehicles of the Russian-backed militants is already almost 700 units, it said.

"On the territory of Luhansk region and Luhansk the militants have created three powerful rear maintenance bases, where they store their armored vehicles. There is a lot of military equipment in Donetsk - the militants hide it in residential areas, industrial bases, and warehouses," National Security and Defense Council spokesman Andriy Lysenko said.

In addition, there are reports that the militant organizations may be planning to hold another sham referendum in the Donbas.

OSCE: Militants remove Grads, howitzers from storage sites| Ukrinform

KYIV, May 14 /Ukrinform/. The OSCE SMM's observers have found that Fighters of the Donetsk People's Republic militant organization have removed six Grad multiple launch rocket systems and four 2S1 Gvozdika 152-mm self-propelled artillery systems from their storage locations.

This is stated in the latest report of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine published on Wednesday.

"The SMM continued to visit heavy weapons holding areas. In 'DPR'-controlled areas the SMM saw three heavy weapons holding areas. At one location six Grad systems were missing. The 'DPR' 'commander' told the SMM that the weapons were removed for training purposes. At a second site, four of six self-propelled Howitzers (2S1, 152mm calibre) were removed - according to persons at the site - for training. On the other hand, the SMM located seven mortar systems (120mm) at this site that had not been noted previously. At a third location, all weapons previously recorded were in situ," the OSCE observers said.

The report notes that, despite claims that the withdrawal of heavy weapons was complete, the SMM observed the following weapons' movements in areas that are in violation of Minsk withdrawal lines.

"In 'DPR'-controlled areas the SMM saw four tanks (T-72). In areas under the control of the 'LPR', the SMM saw four tanks. In government-controlled areas the SMM saw six tanks (five T-64s, one T-72) and one 122mm towed howitzer gun," the report reads.

In addition, the drone of the OSCE observed three Ukrainian Armed Forces artillery pieces (likely towed 152mm cannon) near the government-controlled village of Pionerske.

The OSCE observers also point out that at one location the SMM was denied access by Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, because the commander was not present.

"The SMM had previously attempted to access this site on 7 May but was denied, with the same reason given," the report reads.

54B451DE-86FD-4B30-921D-E1C7599856B3_w640_r1_s[1].jpg

KYIV -- An investigation by RFE/RL shows that Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko may have used his presidential influence to shut down investigations into a land deal aimed at building a private mansion on a historic site in the Ukrainian capital.

Two reports broadcast on RFE/RL's Ukrainian-language television program, Schemes, reveal that over the course of seven years, Poroshenko quietly appropriated more than a hectare of protected land in Kyiv's elite Pechera district and recently quashed an inquiry into the damage of an 18th-century structure caused by construction work on his plot.

As always you posting lies.
OSCE - no Russian soldiers in Ukraine.
France - no Russian soldiers in Ukraine(plus blamed USA for lying)
Even the garbage you posted so-called Nemzov report admit cannot deliver photos or videos of presence of Russian soldiers.
Also OSCE has said ATO speaker Lisenko is lying about real UKR losses.

Don't agree. At least 2 of my friends ( major and captain) of Russian armed forces are in Donbas region now. Was talking to one of them 09.05.15.
 
:yahoo::yahoo: democracy is winning

bro, are you stupid?

there is no such thing as "democrasy winning" in a warzone.

it is two forces fighting each other until resources dry out.

look at the puny pictures of single trucks unloaded from nazi junta members and on the other side, how much support russian rebels get from moscow.

ukraine is drying out slowly. they eat their own flesh.

lol
