Militants understate the number of their artillery pieces not to take them away from the front lines – OSCE

Militants of the "DPR" understate the number of guns available to them. This was stated by Deputy Chairman of the OSCE Alexander Hug at the briefing on Friday - reported the Ukrainska Pravda.

"I think we should say that the artillery has not been completely withdrawn from the contact line", - said he.

According to him, the militants underestate the amount of their existing weapons.

"Representatives of the so-called "DPR" gave background information this week following the example of the Ukrainian army. But the number of weapons that representatives of the "DPR" declared as withdrawn (and they had to withdraw all the available artillery - OstroV) is small. We do not understand how so much aggression was possible last year, if they only had such amount of weapons", - said Hug.

He also said that the militants have equipped their military position in the school in Zaitsevo village, which is controlled by the occupiers.
