into a full continental war" - Turchynov on Russia ’s
resumption of military actions in Donbas
(Censor.NET) --- The resumption of
active hostilities in the East of Ukraine by Russia may lead to the start of a
continental war.

clearly understand that if hostilities resumed, it will be at a higher and more
dangerous level, these hostilities could escalate into a full continental
war," Turchynov said.

the border with Ukraine and
in Crimea to eliminate the Minsk
agreement and start military actions at any moment.
Earlier, Turchynov
stated that Putin was trying to hide the direct participation of Russian
military and its losses in the war against Ukraine

Putin is trying to
hide direct involvement of Russian military and their losses in Donbas -
Turchynov
(Censor.NET) --- Putin is trying to hide
the direct participation of the Russia ’s
soldiers and its losses in the war against Ukraine
waged in the Donbas .
This was stated by
Secretary of the National Security Council (NSDC) Oleksandr Turchynov
commenting on the Putin's Presidential Decree on classifying data on losses of
the Russian army in peace time, Censor.NET reports citing the press service of
the Council.
According to him,
in any regular country, "where the citizens are treated with respect this
would have been impossible." "This is a clumsy attempt to hide what
the whole world already knows about - the war that Russia is waging against our
country," he said.
"This is a
sign of disrespect and contempt for its own military, who were first forced to
fight against Ukrainians, and then secretly buried in unmarked graves. It is
also a manifestation of an open disregard for the families who having lost
their breadwinners, stay powerless and helpless in Russia ," Turchynov summed up.
Earlier, Russian
President Vladimir Putin classified information about casualties among
servicemen of the Defense Ministry during special operations in peacetime.

Presidential
Administration confirms militants’ artillery strike on Horlivka
(Censor.NET) --- Information concerning
the shelling of Horlivka in the Donetsk
region committed by the militants has been confirmed.
Presidential
Administration spokesperson on ATO issues Oleksandr Motuzianyk said on the air
of Channel 5, Censor.NET reports citing RBC-Ukraine.
"Information
regarding the shelling of Horlivka conducted by the militants has been
confirmed. This is not an isolated case when we see them (the militants - Ed.)
deliberately shelling towns and villages they temporarily control. These
actions are aimed to put blame on the Ukrainian servicemen which is untrue.
Their another goal is to destroy the infrastructure there as much as possible
to have reasons to justify the future so-called humanitarian convoys arriving
to the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine from the Russian
Federation," Motuzianyk said.
He also noted that
the situation has deteriorated at the Luhansk direction in recent days.
"Apparently,
the militants consider this direction one of the most promising. The militants
keep shelling our positions in this area almost along the entire line of
contact. If one takes a look at the map, it's the villages of Syze, Zolote,
Popasna, Shchastia, and Stanytsia Luhanska. They are basically using small
arms, grenade launchers and the weapons banned by the Minsk agreements there, in particular, 120-mm
mortars. The attacks with the use of tanks and anti-aircraft guns were recorded
as well," the presidential administration representative said.
