"The intensity of fire control training of the artillery squads of the units stationed near the disengagement areas has increased. In addition, the enemy covertly redeploys weapons, which have to be withdrawn from the demarcation line, on new positions in the dark time. At the same time, the defective equipment is placed in the trenches left and the enemy tries to pass the evacuation of this equipment off as the fulfillment of withdrawal agreements," Spokesperson of the Defense Ministry of Ukraine Maksym Prauta said at a briefing.
In order to conceal these "tricks", the Russian command has restricted the access of media representatives to the demarcation line at a pretext of alleged threats of the Joint Forces fire attacks, Prauta added.
