National Security and Defense Council: Fire was opened 16 times in the ATO zone since the “silence regime” was announced

Kyiv, 10 December 2014 – The silence regime established yesterday brought its first results. For the first time in quite a while Ukrainian servicemen in the East did not suffer losses. No cases of Ukrainian servicemen killed or wounded were observed. The number and intensity of shelling in the East of Ukraine decreased. Since the bilateral ceasefire regime was announced fire was opened 16 times, all cases are qualified as provocations. We would like to bring the attention to the restraint of our servicemen who complied with the “silence regime” in exemplary way and did not return fire of the provocateurs.
