The military equipment, which was involved in the so-called "parades" in the occupied territories of Donbass, was not diverted from the line of contact established by the "Minsk agreements".

Moreover, as reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the combat equipment was directed to the advanced positions of formations 1 (Donetsk) and 2 (Lugansk) of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for carrying out further provocative shelling of civilians and units of the Ukrainian army.

This information was confirmed in the OSCE special monitoring mission, which recorded tanks, howitzer and rocket launchers on the south-eastern outskirts of Lugansk.

Recall, May 9 in occupied Donetsk was a "parade", whose participants instead of portraits of veterans of the war carried photos of the current militants.
