Summary of the deputy chief of staff 5 BTRO Alexander Matyushin (Callsign “Varyag”), May 24

A new day, and no change on the fronts. All also shelled Donetsk. The war continues, despite all the peace rallies, our “politicians”. All Gorlovka under shelling. Fired from the same direction: Dzerzhinsk, Mayorsk, Svetlodarsk. What the hell is going on in the north-western part of this town, it is difficult to describe, let alone to endure. Kuibyshev and Kiev districts of Donetsk also under fire.
Dill not taking the airport, shelling machines (cars – RB), in the territory of the remains of the airport and surrounding areas. On the southern front is still the threat of a breakthrough of the Ukrainian security forces in the area of Shirokino, but our Army continues to hold this sector of the front in spite of all difficulties.
Yesterday it was confirmed that as a result of battle on our positions near of Peske captured by Ukrainian punishers got a fighter from my battalion, Victor Korobkin. Photos showing that they cut off his index fingers, already circled the Internet. Now looking for ways to rescue him from captivity. Unfortunately, exchanges of prisoners of war is not happening, apparently this is also the part “of a breakthrough in the Minsk agreements.” Consequently, the forces trying to pull a kid.
