For the last days around Shirokino massive attacks of positions of the Ukrainian troops and civil objects proceeded.

About it on the page on Facebook the People's Deputy and the coordinator of Information Resistance group Dmitry Tymchuk wrote.

Russian-terrorist troops made attempts with assistance of armored machinery twice (including tanks, - it is marked out, at least, 6 units) to break through defense of the Ukrainian divisions. Also the opponent struck massive attacks from RSZO and barreled artillery near settlements October and Zaichenko. On Novoazovsk the direction the opponent tightens armored machinery (movement of 4 tanks along the route T0508 is recorded).

After branch of the Ukrainian troops from the Debaltsevsky base Russian-terrorist troops continue attempts of attacks in this area. In particular, around a barrier boundary Lugansk – Svetlodarsk two tactical groups of Russian-terrorist troops (everyone number to the strengthened company, with assistance of 5 units of armored machinery) tried to attack the advanced positions of the Ukrainian troops. Fire support of data of groups was carried out by mortar division of terrorists. The opponent was stopped and forced by fire of the Ukrainian divisions to withdrawal on an initial boundary.

In the area Debaltseve firefights between separate bands of "DNR" and "LNR" are fixed.

Terrorists continue attacks of Avdeevsky coke-chemical plant, purposefully trying to stop its work (the part of the enterprise at the moment doesn't work any more).

– Panteleymonovka the opponent continues to focus striking tactical force on a site of Yasinovataya (at least 35 units of armor equipment, in the area are located it is dispersed, small groups on 5-7 units). Arrival in this area from the district of Yenakiyevo of mortar divisions and artillery group (partially or in full strength) which supported "Gorlovsky crew of DNR" in approach to Debaltseve is expected. As a part of art group - 26 units of barreled artillery and SAU, 5 RSZO installations.

Consolidation of fighting orders of Russian-terrorist troops on a site Steppe – Dokuchayevsk proceeds. However heavy arms of the opponent in this area at the moment are delayed deep into fighting orders, the artillery group of Russian-terrorist troops thrown here doesn't open fire. In this area the opponent conducts attacks from mortars and small arms, revealing positions of the Ukrainian divisions, also actively carrying out air reconnaissance (per day on this direction 12-15 flights of the UAV of Russian-terrorist troops are fixed).

In the territory under control to "LNR", command of Russian-terrorist troops continues to represent "branch of heavy equipment" which is taken away from a first line on insignificant distance, concentrating in well disguised and numerous "settlers". For this purpose in the basic settlements ("private sector") are used.

Near to the south Lugansk the transit point of Russian-terrorist troops where the equipment and arms arriving from Russia is thrown is equipped. The part of the heavy arms which are taken away from a first line is also thrown to this area.

Transfer from the territory of the Russian Federation to Donbass of material resources and ammunition proceeds. For the last days movement at least of 3 escorts of supply, one them which (22 transport units) I proceeded to Donetsk is recorded.

Among the Russian Federation thrown from the territory to Donbass of heavy armored machinery the increased specific number of T-72 tanks of various modifications which aren't consisting on arms of VS of Ukraine is noted (earlier Russians threw generally the T-64 tanks in various modifications consisting on arms of the Ukrainian army).
