As at October 31, 2014, the Russian Federation continues to build up its forces in the territory of the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts. At that we increasingly receive reports that militants have BM-30 \u201cSmerch\u201d<\/a> multiple rocket launchers (one of the identified places of deployment is the warehouse of the \u201cDominion\u201d Trade House in Donetsk; it is located 84.5 km away from the headquarters of Ukrainian military in Kramatorsk), BM-27 \u201cUragan\u201d<\/a> multiple rocket launcher systems (deployed to Horlivka, former railway station \u201cPromyvochna\u201d, 48 km away from Ukrainian emplacements). Our observers also detected movement of S-300<\/a> (NATO reporting name is SA-10 Grumble) long range surface-to-air missile systems (one of the identified places of deployment is the warehouse of the \u201cDominion\u201d Trade House in Donetsk). If those S-300 systems are of S-300PMU-1 modification (NATO reporting name is SA-20 Gargoyle), they greatly complicates application of tactical aviation very difficult in the entire crisis region.<\/p>\n

We observe mass rotation of personnel of militant groupings, at that local \u201cmilitia\u201d is replaced with Russian servicemen. For example, in Olenivka the majority of personnel standing at checkpoints belongs to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. In Petrovskyi district of Donetsk over the past three days the local militants disappeared; the locals confirm availability of many Russian servicemen. It is most likely that the Russian soldiers replace out-of-control militants. There is a high probability of deployment of a frontline control center in the area of the spoil tip of the \u201cChekist\u201d mine (47\u00b058\u201914,89\u2033N, 37\u00b034\u201923,95\u2033E \u2014 unfinished military object). This is confirmed by cordoning off the village of the mine and deployment of communications in the area of Markina Street.<\/p>\n

It should also be noted that there is an increase of personnel and armored vehicles in Alchevsk, Bryanka, Perevalsk, Horlivka, Yenakijeve settlements, and formation of reserves in Rovenky, Antratsyt, Snizhne, Krasnyi Luch.<\/p>\n

We observe accumulation of the attack forces in the area of Telmanove, Pervomaiske, Krasnopillya, and deployment of field hospitals in that area. Because the part of the E-58 highway in the area of Samsonove-Bezimenne is blocked, we can make a conclusion of presence of enemy armored vehicles there.<\/p>\n

Diversionary groups of the enemy were observed in the area of Kostiantynivka (the locals reported of firing of small arms in the evening of October 30), Debaltseve (groups of snipers arrived there to destroy gunners of Ukrainian artillery), Mariupol.<\/p>\n

Thus, the combined forces of the Russian Federation and LPR and DPR terrorist organizations are ready to a full-scale attack in several directions.<\/p>\n

Supposedly, the primary directions of attacks will be:<\/p>\n
