Attack on Triokhizbenka repelled| Ukrinform
KYIV, April 18 /Ukrinform/. Fighting in Triokhizbenka village in Luhansk region is over, the militants' attack has been repelled.

This has been reported by press office of Head of Luhansk Regional Military and Civil Administration Hennady Moskal.

"At 12:20, fighting in Triokhizbenka was over. As a reminder, today at 10:30, the militants came to the destroyed bridge over the Siversky Donets River and tried to break through the demarcation line to Triokhizbenka. The fighting started and lasted more than two hours. During the clash, the militants used sub-machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, grenade launchers and rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns," the report says.

According to preliminary data, some Ukrainian servicemen have been wounded.

You know, what is it? It is one of symbols that we once was someone in this world.
We built a city near the river, where once lived the Greeks, and after them the Scythians. And after the Scythians - nomads Turks and Mongols. Prince Potemkin, the favorite of Catherine the Great founded the city near the river and named it in honor of St. Nicholas, the patron of sailors.
The ability to build ships passed from grandfather to father, from father - to his sons. From sail - to a wheeled steamer. From wooden ships - to the iron. From coal to diesel engines.
We built frigates, battleships, cruisers, destroyers, missile cruisers, aircraft carriers. We were proud people, we were respected and feared, and we knew our place in this world. Our ships went through all the seas and all the oceans. We have not only built them, but also served on them. The best young men of the city became sailors and naval officers. They walked through the city in white naval uniform, arm in arm with their beauty wives. On their belts glittering gold daggers ...
And now what? You know, what is now Nikolaev, what happened to the city after 1991 years? Ukraine's first place in AIDS epidemic and drugs epidemic. Hundreds of half-starved oldies standing on a spontaneous markets and sell their things acquired by honest work.
You think someone here will cry about Ukraine? No. No one except thieves who robbed the former socialist property and become local oligarchs, and a small number of "professional Ukrainians" living at the expense of handouts from the West.

ATO: Militants attack Ukrainian army with Grad rockets and mortars, violating Minsk accords : UNIAN news

Russian-backed militants have again violated the terms of the Minsk agreement, attacking Ukrainian forces overnight with weapons they were supposed to have withdrawn from the front line, the press center of Ukraine’s Anti-Terrorist Operation headquarters said on Sunday.
"In violation of the Minsk agreements, the criminals opened fire seven times with 120mm-caliber mortars, and once with 122mm-caliber artillery,” the press center said in a post on Facebook.

“After a short break, the gunmen again resorted to shelling our positions with BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launchers,” it said.

The press center said that from 1800 to midnight on Saturday Russian-backed forces in the Donbas violated the ceasefire 21 times.

“In Donetsk region near the village of Pisky the criminals opened fire in the direction of our fortifications with 120-mm mortars, as well as from tanks and with machine guns,” the press center said.

In addition, the report said that in the area Avdiivka illegal armed groups attacked Ukrainian forces with automatic grenade launchers, sniper weapons and small arms, infantry fighting vehicles, 1200mm mortars and 122mm-caliber artillery. From 1810 to 1833 the militants launched a barrage of 14 Grad rockets in the direction of Ukrainian positions.

The militants also directed mortar fire on Ukrainian positions near the villages of Opytnoye, Talakovka, Maorsk and Shyrokino, the press center said.

There were no attacks recorded during this period in Luhansk region, it said.

Under the Minsk agreements of February 12 between Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, French President Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Russian President Vladimir Putin a package of measures was approved aimed at implementing the September Minsk arrangements. In addition, the leaders adopted a declaration of Ukraine, France, Germany and Russia in support of these measures.

Among other things, the new agreements reached by the “Normandy Four” group of nations provided for a ceasefire in the east of Ukraine from 0001 on February 15 and the withdrawal of all heavy weapons from the front line. In addition, both sides were to release all of their prisoners.

However, the ceasefire quickly broke down, and the Russian-backed militants went on to attack and capture the Ukrainian-held town of Debaltseve on February 18. Since then, there have been practically daily violations of the ceasefire, with the intensity of the fighting rising significantly over the past week.

I can confidently say one thing - it's not me.

View attachment 215572
The editor in chief of the Ukrainian publication Neteshinskiy Vestnik has been murdered, as reported by the Bulgarian National Television.

The body of Olga Moroz has been found in her home in the city of Neteshin. Investigators have found traces of violence. The reasons behind the murder have not yet been established, but according to the police the most probable seems to be her work in the media.

The latest article that Moroz had been working on was connected to the illegal felding.

Murderers of the pro-Russian publicist Oles Buzina ahd his associate Sergei Suhobok found dead in Kiev remain unestablished. The reasons behind the crime are yet unclear although investigators believe them to be connected with the professional activities of the journalist.

Meanwhile, a supporter of the former Ukrainian President Yanukovych has also been shot dead. Oleg Kalashnikov was murdered on April 15 and the circumstances and culprits need yet to be established.

Oleksandar Peklushenko and Mihaylo Chechetov were also killed over the past few months and the cause is largely connected to their support for Yanukovych.

Meanwhile, the former President's son was found drowned in the lake of Baikal in March of this year.

ATO has not failed and infact able to hold its position , if not then the whole both provinces would be under the control of seperatists backed by Russian military.

Glonass satellites did the work.
