According to obtained information, the UAF’s command is planning to capture Yasinovataya tonight and clear out our units.

We appeal to the OSCE and international human rights organizations to put pressure on the Ukrainian leadership and force it to comply with the obligations it took upon itself according to the Minsk Agreements.
