It looks like a huge artillery preparation for some new offensive by the so -called first Army Corps "DNR".

This art preparation looks like a cosplay of the First World War, when the inaccuracy of artillery was offset by its quantity and heavyness, ”Mikhailov said. He noted that recently, according to reports, heavy guns and hyacinth were thrown to Donetsk. "Therefore, you can expect some attempt to attack in this direction," the CIT analyst says. According to him, in the last five months there have been many attempts to break Ukrainian defense on the old collision line that existed until February 24.

“And these attempts have not yet succeeded. The quality of the so -called "Donetsk infantry", which has accumulated in eight years of war, is almost nullified, because these mercenaries, these formations suffered very heavy losses in the first stages of the so -called "operation" during the battles in the Donetsk direction in Volnovakha and Mariupol . Therefore, I am not sure that this possible offensive in the Donetsk direction will reach some goals, ”Mikhailov summed up.
