DONETSK. Feb 9 (Interfax) - The self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic is anticipating Ukrainian forces' offensive on Novoazovsk.
"A column of 20 Ukrainian armored vehicles has arrived at the eastern limits of Mariupol. The concentration of additional Ukrainian forces in this area suggests that a storm is being prepared on the militia's defensive positions near Novoazovsk," Eduard Basurin, military spokesman for the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, told the media on Sunday.
"Ukrainian forces intensively shelled the militia's positions with multiple rocket launchers in the Mariupol direction," he said.
