Another batch of Russian armored vehicles (up to 10 units) was brought to the Donetsk airport area, transferred by servicemen of the Russian Federation to local militants indicating for them “to protect the equipment.” Also, up to 10 units of Russian armored vehicles were deployed to the area of Avdiivka.
There is a concentration of units of the regular army of the Russian Federation in the area of Dokuchaievsk–Novotroitsk–Olhinka and Novoazovsk–Kominternovo.
