In Donetsk, there were documented cases of the disappearance of soldiers of the Russian Federation. According to the terrorists, it is evidence of the activity of pro-Ukrainian partisans in the city.

Skirmishes continue between groups of insurgents, as well as attacks on their part on units of the Army of the Russian Federation. Similar cases have been recorded in the area of Donetsk (pos. Frunze, the district accommodating the bases of Russian troops), Dokuchaievsk, Krasnyi Luch (between local rebels and Russian Cossacks). During the shootings, heavy weapons were used.

In Donetsk, in addition to the units of the Armed Forces of the RF, the activity of armed groups of the DNR [Donetsk People’s Republic] and “Kalmius” and “Donetsk Orthodox Army” were observed. The interaction between them is established at an extremely low level. Conflicts were recorded between various factions.

In the DNR, the process of issuing Russian passports has dramatically intensified. First of all, they are provided to retired pensioners.

In the territories controlled by the LNR [Luhansk People’s Republic] and the DNR, the activities of criminal groups from Russia dealing in stolen cars and smuggling were recorded. In the organizations that smuggle stolen cars from the Donbas to the territory of the Russian Federation, officers of the Russian Armed Forces are actively involved.

A delivery of party chevrons of the “Kharkiv People’s Republic” to the headquarters of the LNR, was recorded.
