As previously reported in URA-Inform, deputy head of the special monitoring mission, OSCE Alexander Hug is deeply convinced that the escalation of the conflict in the Donbass will only grow. According to Hug, at a time when the earth freezes, it is much easier to move heavy weapons. Therefore, this will cause the escalation of the conflict.
