It is noted that the hybrid troops of the Russian Federation deployed towed howitzers, multiple rocket launchers, self-propelled howitzers, tanks, axle boxes and anti-tank guns, and armored combat vehicles in violation of the withdrawal line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The headquarters added that the work of the OSCE SMM in occupied Donbas is regularly accompanied by obstacles from the militants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine’s side keeps the situation under control and continues to perform tasks to repel and deter armed aggression by the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine adhere to the Minsk agreements and open fire in response only in cases when the actions of the Russian occupation forces pose a threat to the life and health of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine\u2019s Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov stated that Kyiv does not confirm the withdrawal of Russian troops from the border. According to the minister, as of February 18, 149,000 Russian troops <\/a>of the ground component, as well as aviation and naval contingent are amassed at Ukrainian borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

February 17, the situation in the Donbas conflict area worsened after a relative lull. As reported earlier, Russia-backed militants shelled a number of civilian facilities, including a school and a kindergarten. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
