RUSSIA-LED FORCES MOUNT 15 ATTACKS ON UKRAINE POSITIONS IN DONBAS, ONE DAY BEFORE AGREED CEASEFIRE
Ukrainian soldiers did not return fire.
"Last night, no enemy shelling was recorded in the areas of responsibility of the vast majority of units except for 15 violations of the ceasefire in Krymske, Prychepylivka, Popasna, Troitske, Novozvanivka, Novo-Oleksandrivka, Orikhove, Avdiyivka, Nevelske, Lebedynske, Opytne, and Vodiane," the press center of Ukraine's Joint Forces Operation (JFO) said on Facebook in a morning update on July 26.
In most cases, the enemy opened fire from rifles, grenade launchers, and 82mm mortars. Proscribed 120mm mortars were used in some cases. Fulfilling the Minsk agreements and taking into account the fact that it was harassing fire, JFO units did not return fire. No Ukrainian army casualties were reported. JFO units have begun preparations for a full and comprehensive ceasefire in accordance with the decision of the Trilateral Contact Group of July 22, 2020, which will enter into force from 00:01 on July 27, 2020.
