[Rusvesna] Footage from a downed drone of the Ukrainian 25th Airborne Brigade showed the installation of a 120-mm mortar by Ukrainian soldiers, from which they subsequently hit the village of Vasilyevka near Donetsk. Vasilyevka is the village of Trudovskay Mine, west of Donetsk city
The video appeared in the Donbass telegram channels and raises a number of questions. Namely, one circumstance attracted attention to it: next to the mortar there is a white ZIL with the symbols of Ukrainian representatives in the Joint Center for the Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire (JCCC).
VGTRK reporter Andrei Rudenko, who has covered the hottest events in Donbass since 2014, named the main question in his author's Telegram channel.
Video from the shot a downed UAV.
Strange video footage taken from this aircraft. During the ascent, the UAV recorded (on the territory controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine) a vehicle of the JCCC of Ukraine and a mortar of the Kiev military was standing nearby.
This begs one question: what is the JCCC of Ukraine doing next to the mortar crew? Or is it their mortar? Or what is it? I would like answers!" writes Rudenko.
However, the answer has been there for a long time and this information was also voiced more than once.
The video is proof that the Kiev militants are using vehicles with the JCCC logo for the unhindered delivery of weapons and ammunition to the front line. This has been repeatedly stated by the defense departments of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics.
The militants use the vehicles of the observation mission to conduct shelling in the LPNR, whose tasks include monitoring the observance of the ceasefire regime. According to the agreements, these white cars are not fired upon. But at the same time, they successfully help the militants with impunity to strike at the civilian population of Donbass, as confirmed by footage from the lost UAV.
As the authors of the Svarschiki telegram channel emphasize, "Ukraine has completely discredited the activities of the JCCC: first, the abduction of an observer from the LPR, now there are shelling using their vehicles."
Says Lt Colonel Eduard Basurin:
"The People's Militia has repeatedly stated that the Ukrainian command uses white ZIL-131 vehicles with the JCCC logo not only to carry out an observation mission, but also to directly support combat missions," Basurin said.
"The video clip presented to your attention clearly shows that the militants of the 25th Airborne Assault Brigade are unloading a 120 mm mortar and ammunition from a white ZIL car. Symbols of Ukrainian observers are discernible on the car."
