"Today, the Russian-led forces have violated ceasefire in the JFO area three times. According to available information, no casualties among the Ukrainian military have been reported,” the spokesman said.

In particular, the enemy used a mounted antitank grenade launcher to fire at the positions of the Joint Forces outside Marinka (23km south-west of Donetsk).
