NSDC data show that since the beginning of the 2015 military operation in the area Debaltseve, in the Donetsk region killed 2,911 militants. On the other hand, since the ceasefire in the east of Ukraine in the fighting killed 868 militants and destroyed eight tanks.
On Thursday, the Ukrainian authorities reported that the pro-Russian separatists want to learn the way to Mariupol and the Crimea. Therefore, attacked the villages around Szyrokyne lying near the Sea of Azov in the Donetsk region.
Szyrokyne is situated on the route from Russia to the occupied by it since March 2014 years Crimea. From the border with Russia to the village is 37 km, and to Mariupol, an important port on the Sea of Azov, Szyrokyne is 22 km away. From autumn to spring, when at sea are frequent storms, and even appears in ice, preventing ferries plying, the shortest way to the Crimea runs through here.
