DONETSK, December 11. /TASS/. Ukraine’s military and militias of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) have begun withdrawing heavy weapons from the line of disengagement on Thursday but no deadline has been set to complete the pullback, a Donetsk news agency report said, citing the press service of the DPR Defense Ministry.

“No deadline has been agreed on so far. It will be done step by step. We have pulled out and they have pulled out and so on,” the source said, noting that the process could take several days.

Reports earlier said both sides had begun to withdraw 100mm artillery systems.
