The Russian military men are plotting serious provocations throughout the entire demarcation line in the antiterrorist operation (ATO) area in Donbas region in order to blame the Ukrainian side in non-compliance with the Minsk Agreements, the Main Directorate of Intelligence (MDI) of the Defense Ministry has said.

"The enemy is planning large-scale provocations throughout the collision line in eastern Ukraine, followed by the accusation of the Ukrainian side in non-observance of the Minsk agreements," MDI said in a statement on its Facebook page on Friday morning.

According to the Ukrainian military intelligence, the enemy’s main efforts were focused on the rotation and strengthening of advanced units, replenishment of supplies and ammunition, as well as improving the fortification equipment of the front edge in Severodonetsk, Sloviansk and Donetsk directions.
