Ukrainian military plan to finish equipping their positions in Donbas by end of October
The Ukrainian military continue to equip their positions in Donbas taking advantage of the ongoing lull, the press service of the Ukrainian army operation in the country's eastern regions said on its Facebook account on Tuesday morning.
"In particular, most facilities near Artemivsk have already passed inspections of the Defense Ministry's commissions. The degree of other [facilities'] readiness is 90%, and efforts to equip the positions will be completed before the end of the month," the press center said.
At the same time, measures continue in the Donetsk region to detect and defuse explosive items both at the frontline and in rearward areas. In the past week, Armed Forces sappers have found a large number of mines, shells and projectiles of various calibers and have safely disposed of them at one of the firing ranges.
Situation was quiet overnight into Tuesday, with militia forces of the self-proclaimed republics continuing to observe the ceasefire, the press center said.
