Perhaps Ukrainian military expects to be suddenly in Donetsk and encourage volunteers to ensure that they left the city, not wanting to arrange it into a slaughterhouse. But I think the militia today calculate a variety of scenarios. And in one fell swoop, even armored, they do not hesitate.

In any case, confirmed evidence that there have been created powerful armored groups to strike in Donetsk is unavailable. For such information nowadays to remain completely hidden is impossible, because of the "Free Press." It doesn't exist.

Donbass pending decisive assault

Parliamentary elections and the authorities LC and DNR will lead to the resumption of large-scale battles

22.10.2014 00:01, Tatiana Ivzhenko

In Kiev, I predict worsening of the situation in the Donets Basin in the coming days. Concerns are related to both conduct October 26 elections to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, and with the planned elections in a week of self-proclaimed leadership of the LC and the DNI. Political struggle develops into armed clashes.

On Monday afternoon, news agencies reported a powerful explosion in Donetsk. According to witnesses, the blast wave swept across the city, over the epicenter - in the area of warehouses for the Donetsk state factory of chemical products - rose "mushroom." It is approximately 100 km from the border with Russia.

As of yesterday they did not know precisely what the substance was that exploded and which side struck.

Unveiled a different version: rocket attack on the territory of chemical enterprises, the explosion of stockpiled munitions factory and as a result of the detonation of RDX, an intentional undermining of warehouses.

On Monday evening, the Russian media issued a statement of the Prime Minister of breakaway DNR Alexnder Zaharchenko, who allegedly accused the Ukrainian troops' firing of rockets at Donetsk "and allegedly declared the termination of the armistice. Yesterday morning Zaharchenko's commentary in Tass news agency denied the report, saying that the journalists took the news from Twitter. "I did not say that. I understand that someone on my behalf sent the page in social networks and on my behalf, and makes statements that do not have to do with me, "- he explained.

The Ukrainian side, in turn, made an official statement that the missile strikes or shelling of Donetsk did not come from them. Press center of the antiterrorist operation reported that the Ukrainian military respond to attacks by armed groups in the breakaway republics, but "beat off the attack with mortars." And do not shoot on Human Settlements. No "Point-In," "Grad," "Twister," "Hurricane": "ATO do not use force," - said the press center. It specified that the video, "which is used as proof that the Ukrainian military launched a missile attack (on the chemical plant. -"NG"), appeared on the Internet only four months ago."

In Kiev yesterday sounded the assumption what the militia could do - intentionally or accidentally - to blow up the warehouses with their ammunition. Appointed last week, Minister of Defense of Ukraine Stepan Poltorak on the television talk show suggested that the explosion was arranged specifically to accuse the Ukrainian military. "This is yet another provocation by terrorists," - he said. A speaker of the Council of National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine Andriy Lysenko explained the situation as follows: "After the capture of militants Donetsk state plant, warehouses which store large amounts of chemicals, the terrorists tried to establish the production of explosives there."

At this time in facebook, it was reported that the attack on a chemical plant are partisans. It unveiled a Johan Karlsen, who presents himself as the leader is still not known movement "AntiDNRovskoe resistance." He wrote: "Declare: Donetsk exploded not" Tochka-U "! This undermining mined terrorist bases and warehouses. Now we're going to do it regularly until you leave from Donetsk voluntarily, or you will have to take out "force." ...
