- There is a partial exchange of prisoners. The junta continues to use regular civilians, who are often suspected of supporting Novorossia, among the people returned into the DPR and the LPR. POWs are often returned with the traces of beatings and torture.
- The intensity of military action reduced significantly and currently we are seeing more of a series of local firefights and shelling instead of a burning front line. The initiative in the business of violating the cease-fire regime belongs to the junta, which regularly attempts to probe the NAF defenses at Shirokino, Peski, and Bakhmutka.
- The pullback of heavy artillery on the NAF side is effectively in its concluding phase. On the other hand, the junta continues to cheat, engaging in redeployment of the artillery in the area of the front line instead of its withdrawal.
In the questions of political nature we observe the predictable dead-end.
- The blockade of Donbass is not lifted and they are not going to lift it.
- There's no amnesty, furthermore, it is openly stated that it won't be extended to the leadership of the DPR and the LPR.
- The constitutional reform hasn't started.
- The attempts to bypass the question of the border by inviting peacekeepers expectedly failed.
- There is no clarity in the political future of Donbass, which would allow to solve a number of conflicting questions.
- Every day Russia is threatened with new sanctions and ultimatums given on the principle "Do as we say, or else..."
- The junta continues to prepare for war on the background of diplomatic maneuvering, both at the account of its own resources and also due to foreign aid.
- During the "truce" we regularly see various provocations, both in the area of the front line and also in other areas (mining bridges in Crimea, a weird explosion in Kharkov).
- The USA still try to build a wide anti-Russian coalition and make the conflict wider, which is served by diplomatic maneuvering around the weapon shipments to Ukraine.
In general, as it was noted earlier, without achieving direct agreements between Russia and the USA there is no speaking of a quick resolution to this conflict.
Again and again and again, there has never been any reason to trust either Porky or Rats, since well
before either of them took up any kind of office. In the end their lies will crucify them to the walls
they've built to try and keep the Russians out.
