As I said, the DPR/LPR will not be allowed to win any more big battles or gain more territory. The political and economic cost would be too big for Russia.

Poroshenko seems fully detached from reality on the ground.

According to data obtained recently from the DPR authorities, 3,609 civilians died in strikes by Ukrainian forces between 13 February 2015 and 26 August 2016, of which 3,133 were men, 476 women, 65 children and 352 “unknown”.

In addition, figures from the DPR Ministry of Utilities and Housing Construction state that up 20 July 2016 4,359 ‘multi-family housing’ were damaged, of which 54 are irreparable, and 6,307 private houses damaged, of which 1,853 are irreparable.

As the neighbouring Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) has also experienced similar military strikes and civilian casualties, a very rough estimate would suggest that at least 6,000 civilians have died in strikes by Ukrainian forces on the Donbass republics since Minsk II.

Against this background words of the deputy minister on the so-called temporarily occupied territories and internally displaced persons Tuka sound too optimistically, when he says that Donbass will be forced to be a part of Ukraine in one and a half years at most. Proceeding from the statistics of combat and noncombat losses in the AFU, in one and a half years there will be just nobody "to force."

For me this is a sign of lack of weapons and/or ammunition of 5.45mm of Sovietic origin surely in all Eastern Europe except Belarus and Russia.

Also I would take it as a fake new to hide the export to Ukraine of old American or European stocks.

No this means they have huge stashes of M43 and a lot of powder laying around enough to try and sell this shit around.

As if on cue, Donets daily briefing for today (January 7) reports on the enemy ammunition shortage. There has indeed been a drastic reduction in artillery fire over the past two weeks and now is mostly mortar fire.

https://dninews.com/article/donetsk-defense-situation-report-7012017

"Nevertheless, our intelligence detected reduction of artillery ammunition stocks in the AFU units. In this connection the ‘ATO’ command introduced a restriction regime for heavy weapons’ application which is implemented by setting a daily limit of the applied ammunition for each military unit. According to our data, strategic stocks in the AFU warehouses are running out of inventory, in this regard the Ukrainian authorities are looking for sources of ammunition’s replenishment. One of them is a purchase of ammunition at the expense of budgetary funds in the Middle East countries, the territories of which are partially controlled by international terrorists, and the second one is by means of the increase in manufacturing capacities of the Ukrainian Defense Industry."
