"The situation in the ATO zone has not changed significantly in the last 24 hours," the press center said.
"Russian-backed insurgents have taken a pause in conducting military actions, but still they continued to attack the positions of the Ukrainian armed forces using artillery and mortar weapons, Grad rockets and small arms."
Russian-backed insurgents fired on Ukrainian positions nine times over the last day, the headquarters said. The most active areas for the armed groups remain Luhansk, Donetsk, and Debaltseve bridgeheads.
“As a result of non-compliance of the ceasefire by the militants, the positions of Ukrainian troops were attacked near the villages of Krymske, Novotoshkivske, Trudivske, Debaltseve, Chornukhyne,” the headquarters said.
"The terrorists have twice fired on the residential areas of the villages. Fortunately, there were no casualties among the civilian population this time," the report reads.
