Earlier, the representative of the LPR people's militia, Andrei Marochko, said, that the Ukrainians on the line of contact changed the nature of their shelling in order to clear sections of the front for the offensive. “Now shelling is taking place in places where this has never happened before. They make “needle pricks” to spray our forces and means. Such operations usually take place before an offensive, “he said.
