However, military experts note that the military hardware "Zmey Gorynych," nicknamed after the three-headed fire-breathing dragon-like beast from Russian folklore, is used by the Russian Armed Forces, and Russia is its major operator. Such equipment has never been supplied to Ukraine, thus, Ukraine's armed forces do not use it.

A source at Ukraine's Defense Ministry told UNIAN that "supervisors" from the Russian special forces were trying to make separatists withdraw that material from their website, however, it is still available at the moment.

According to Army Recognition, a global military army online magazine, the UR-07 clearance system is mounted on the chassis of BMP-3 infantry armored vehicle. Fitted with an extensive support demining UZP UZP-06-06D, it may create a way through a minefield of an area between 340 and 1,000 m long and up to ten meters wide. Its explosive charge is able to destroy all types of mines.

The mine clearance charge is a long cable with explosives. The cable is attached to a launch system over several hundred meters. After firing, the cable and explosive charges fall to the ground, explode and destroy mines within a diameter of several meters. In a few seconds a safety corridor is created in a minefield, which allows soldiers and combat vehicles to cross the field safely.

Militants shell Horlivka and charge Ukrainian army | Міністерство оборони України

Kremlin propagandists made a new fake. On May 27, the Russian channels broadcasted videos titled Horlivka Children Killed by a Shell and Horlivka shelling killed 11-year-old girl and her father.

According to the Russians, a unit of the 44th detached artillery brigade allegedly shelled the outskirts of Horlivka on May 26 resulted in heavy destructions and death of two persons.

On May 26, a representative of Luhansk oblast at the Joint Centre for Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire and Stabilization of the Parties’ Demarcation Line reported that at 06.40 p.m. and 07:10 p.m., the Ukrainian units shelled Horlivka with 152 mm artillery. Meanwhile, this information was not proved. At 08:20 p.m., the RF representatives at the Joint Centre for Control and Coordination reported on Horlivka shelling and casualties.

The Ukrainian monitors along with RF representatives at the Joint Centre for Control and Coordination at command post Dzerjynsk and observation post Artemove located on the Ukrainian government-controlled territory did not observe attacks from the Ukrainian side.

Meanwhile, the monitors heard 9 shots of heavy artillery from ex-mine 6-7 controlled by the representatives of certain regions of Donetsk oblast. Thus, in such a manner the illegal armed formations try to compromise the Ukrainian army.

Ukrainian army and other armed formation strictly observe the Minsk agreements and open fire in response to aggressive actions of militants.
