Explore comprehensive coverage on the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) zone in Eastern Ukraine, where Ukrainian forces combat against combined Russian-separatist troops. Daily updates reveal a grim picture of ceasefires routinely violated and heavy weapons employed despite bans specified by Minsk agreements. Notable incidents include the deployment of first counter-sniper systems near Avdiivka, legislative changes like the signing by President Zelenskyi granting combatant status to volunteer soldiers, and recurrent troop assaults leading invariably to casualties and injuries on both sides. The resilience of Ukrainian forces amidst escalating tensions and peace negotiations stands as a testament to the ongoing struggle for sovereignty and integrity within Ukraine's borders.
