“Situation in Donbass is tense” said Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba at the press conference, APA reports.

He noted that Ukrainian troops on the front line have been instructed not to respond to provocations: “Since January of 2021, our 30 servicemen have died, they have been shot by a sniper. Community gets furious from this, they expect us to give a harsh response. Russia purposefully does this. What Russia wants is to provoke us”.

Ukrainian FM noted that Russia has deployed about 120 thousand servicemen on the border with Ukraine and Crimea during the last weeks: “Not only soldiers but also paratroopers, ballistic missiles, communication and surveillance equipment, etc. includes here. Alongside these, a disinformation war is being waged against Ukraine”.
