And now, today, at about 17:00 Russian mercenaries began firing Novoluganskogo “Grad”. Reactive “Grad” beat not a point but on the area. To be clear, the “separable” shell not the military, and houses. Right now. The house on fire. Among civilians there are wounded”, – said Tsaplienko.

Today, December 19, it became known that Russian and Ukrainian representatives at SCCC left the occupied Lugansk. On the eve of the Russian foreign Ministry has announced the withdrawal of Russian JCCC representatives from the Donbass. As their representatives, allegedly, “has faced serious difficulties because of the position of the Ukrainian authorities.” The Ministry of foreign Affairs of Ukraine called the move another provocation, which significantly undermines the Minsk agreement.

Also , the Ukrainian foreign Ministry saidthat this decision, the Kremlin significantly increases the risks for the security of the SMM, the OSCE, in particular, to dictate to Ukraine and its international partners unacceptable accommodation of UN peacekeepers in the Donbas.

In the so-called “people’s militia “DNR” do not exclude that the withdrawal of the Russian side of SCCC will lead to the aggravation of the situation in the region.

Now Russian and Ukrainian officials left the so-called “DNR” and are already in government-controlled Soledar. It should be noted that Ukrainian officers remain JCCC in Soledar in the future and will contribute to the work of the OSCE mission.

Meanwhile, the militants “DNR”, despite the suspension of Russian JCCC representatives, intend to continue work in normal mode, and to engage in dialogue with representatives of the OSCE SMM, and the Ukrainian side.

The Russian representative office SCCC gave the contacts of the militants “DNR” in the Common centre of the management of SMM OSCE for further interaction.

According to political and military experts, the decision of Russia to withdraw from Ukraine all their military, representatives of the Russian Federation at the JCCC, is part of the hybrid war waged by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In turn, the representative of Ukraine in the working sub-group on the security of the Trilateral contact group Yevhen Marchuk said that the withdrawal of Russian troops from part of the SCCC almost make it impossible to ensure the regime of silence, if it is to be concluded in Minsk on 20 December.

He recalled that on 20 December will be the last in this year’s 73rd round of talks in Minsk, the agenda of the working group on security issues is the attempt to negotiate a ceasefire across the contact line, at least for the period of Christmas and new year holidays and winter vacations.

“How to achieve this, technology has been developed and tested, it worked in 2016 when then managed to hold on to silent mode for 6 weeks. The so-called bread and school truce in 2017 was unsuccessful. A very important role in ensuring that technology plays a military Joint center for control and coordination (JCCC), which includes Ukrainian and Russian military. Unlike the patrols of the OSCE SMM, they have the power and can quickly intervene to stop the violation of silence regime. Russian military in violations of ORDA, and Ukrainian – by the APU. The action of the Russian leadership to withdraw its troops from part of the SCCC will almost make it impossible to ensure the regime of silence, even if an agreement is reached tomorrow,” said Marchuk.

Ivan Jakóbiec, military expert, retired Colonel and member of the Expert Council of CEACR.

– It is not so simple. Now the question will be more complicated. One should not expect a decisive and overt actions. But in the area of collision possible new Hobbies settlements as a gray area and not only. Possible attacks on our troops on the front line and so on. The aggravation will go active. Perhaps would be more actively carried out sabotage work. The reason of this issue is the fact that Russia now wants to prove that she is on the electoral stage and it is not up to it and she needs it. But it’s not. I believe that the militants are now taking a more assertive and active stance on the line of contact. They will not recapture the territory, because for them it doesn’t matter. They will now be even more to shoot at civilians and say that we do. Their provocations will become more active in order to discredit us. For the New year maybe there will be some lull, however frail.

No one knows how it will be then. And with respect to those settlements that were in a gray area, so they are controlled by us, but then it is a grey area because there are very fast things can change. The militants will not take these areas, they do not need them, they will just continue pouring the blood around where it is convenient for them.
