Situation intensifies near Stanytsia Luhanska

Following the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Debaltseve, militants are shifting their forces to other, equally significant sections of the front. Thus, the situation has intensified near Mariupol, and now near Stanytsia Luhanska.

“Обостряется ситуация в районе Станицы Луганской (The situation is intensifying in the Stanytsia Luhanska area). Крайние два дня реально было тихо. Даже на самом передовом посту Яхта. Дошло до того, что пришли гонцы боевиков - мол, "давайте договариваться и не бахкать". На что бойцы 17й бригады ответили: возвращайтесь в Россию и расходитесь по домам. Послали короче, но без стрельбы. (The last two days were genuinely quiet. Even at the forward post Yakhtha. It got to the point where militants' messengers came over, saying, "Let's negotiate and stop shooting." The soldiers of the 17th Brigade replied: go back to Russia and go home. We sent them off, so to speak, but without firing.)

 С сегодняшнего дня начались провокации - пулеметы, минометы, прицельная снайперская стрельба. Нашим - команда молчать. Нервы на пределе. Бойцам видится так: скоро ситуация на этом важном участке фронта вернется на круги своя. И ребята готовятся. "Цапают" - как они сами говорят. То есть - роют окопы. Потому что знают - завтра снова война. (Starting today, provocations have begun – machine guns, mortars, targeted sniper fire. Our side has been ordered to remain silent. Nerves are at the breaking point. The soldiers see it this way: soon the situation on this important section of the front will return to its previous state. And the guys are preparing. They are "digging," as they put it. That is, they are digging trenches. Because they know – tomorrow the war will resume again.)..”, reports Roman Bochkal.
