News reports out of eastern Europe say Ukraine has broken the Minsk Agreement ceasefire. Ukrainian troop and war fighting equipment numbers have been increased along the demarcation line with the breakaway regions of Luhansk and Donetsk, in violation of the ceasefire deal.
People’s Militia Corps of Luhansk People’s Republic reports that on 15 November Ukraine began the troop buildup by launching an artillery attack on the village of Marevka. The village of Staromykhailivka was attacked today. The People’s Militia Corps also says Ukraine is using civilian vehicles marked ‘School’ and ‘Children’, but inside are fully armed troops.
Administrators in Donetsk reported train loads of 4-hundred Ukrainian weapon systems, including T-80 tanks and 2S1 SP Guns, brought in by rail towards the demarcation line.
The southeastern area of Ukraine is also known as New Russia due to the overwhelming majority of the people being ethnic Russians. Russian border police report a steady flow of people fleeing into Russia. There are reports that residents of Donetsk and Luhansk will be given Russian passports.
The Ukrainian government also announced it is shutting down the Chongar border crossing with Russian controlled Crimea, at least from 17 to 19 November.
