Ukrainian army occupies villages Staromarjevka in Donbas, said the head of the Foreign Ministry of DLR Natalia Nikonorová. She emphasized that the situation had changed. “ But now the Ukrainian armed formations have moved forward, in fact they have conquered Staromaryevka, hoisted the Ukrainian flag there, built new fortifications, equipped the trenches, & # 39; & # 39; notes.
Staromaryevka was demilitarized and was not under the control of the DLR under the Minsk agreements. Meanwhile, there are about 30 Russian citizens in the village.
Recall that the village Staromarjevka is in “gray & # 39; & # 39; zone and its occupation is a breach of existing agreements. Earlier, the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Sergei Sheptala, denied reports of the occupation of Staromarjevka. “ The soldiers couldn't go there alone because they wanted to. The soldiers were therefore not there, & # 39; & # 39; Sheptal argued.
In the meantime, videos have previously appeared in the media showing the entry of Ukrainian military equipment into Staromarjevka.
